Anyone know why it took well over 5 minutes for someone to shoot at the terrorist, on the largest Army base in the world? And then to be stopped by an off duty female civilian?

The largest Army base in the world was one of the best places to stage a mass shooting, sure in the knowledge that you would be the only one with a gun.

Off the base, in Texas, you might encounter lots of people with CCWs, but on the base only MPs are allowed to be armed, and since the base is relatively low-crime, they don't have the need for lots of armed police.

Yep. This woman is a great heroine for her brave actions.

But, that shouldn’t stop us from asking why she had to be the one to stop this freak.

It looks like the armed forces need to wake up, and reconsider the very real threat of attack from within.
