correct. The only ones allowed to have live firearms are MP’s and gate security...
That would not be accurate according to my son. He is Staff Sgt. at Fort Riley and will be ending his military career this April - so he has been assigned gate duty. No firearms allowed - though the MP’s do carry they are not on gate duty and are only occasionally at the gates parked in there units down the road. He has had 2 BOLO events that included armed and dangerous - and were still denied weapons. Keep in mind that he and his crew are Combat Arms and Iraq Vets.
