I was hanging with some DoD civvies at CRC Ft. Bliss on the way to Iraq and it was optional and totally voluntary for them to accept or decline weapons issuance (Beretta 9mm if I recall correctly).

Not a single one wanted to carry (despite some being avid gun owners) because it was too much of a PITA. They figured having a weapon was a big inconvenience and nothing more than a gesture if they should actually need to use it (i.e., 9mm versus AK or RPG or IEDs).
