Second Amendment Sisters are working to eliminate ALL "gun free zones" (aka killing fields) in this country.

I agree. It is puzzling that they should swear to uphold the constitution, but then be required by superiors to oppose it.
It is also illogical for us to entrust them with the most powerful weaponry, and then deny them constant access to such basic things as pistols.
We need to see more of this.
Excellent and thank you for posting this!
Shame the SAS don’t read Federal Law. No private weapons on Post.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
Bad news, the Post Commanders hands are just about tied in the matter. Folks living in quarters may be allowed possession - that’s open for discussion.
Civilians on Post with private weapons? Not going to happen, unless they lie to the guards. That carries it’s own downside.
Man thats confusing. Why would a pressure group name itself after one of the most famous special forces regiments in the world?
The NRA and GOP need to push hard for CCW for AMERICAN troops on bases. They need protection from Islamic sleeper cells.
Did anybody consider that Hasan had (by reports) at his disposal, probably 500 or so rounds to do his damage? Kimberly Munley’s 4 rounds are, by reports, “PROBABLY” the reason why he didn’t kill as many as he could. Kimberly Munley’s 4 rounds ARE THE ONLY REASON why more people were not killed. And I might add, no Federal Law or military installation rule prevented him from doing the damage he did, ONLY KIMBERLY MUNLEY did that.
Angela, Basil, yours, in SASter-hood
Hmmm ... both sides make sense here ...
Civilians carrying firearms on a military base? I’m not so sure about that. What if 5,000 civilians all came walking up to the guard shack, AR-15s over their shoulders, seeking admittance? Then again, there shouldn’t be many civilian visitors and it might become policy to escort them. Dicey stuff.
Troops don’t ordinarily walk around the base (post, for you grunts) carrying sidearms, except for police. That policy should be changed, since we are at war, but we’ll see.
In my own experience ... at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, where civilians vastly outnumber military personnel, the morning rush is a stream of vehicles three lanes across, non-stop for a half hour.
One day the base police were hosting some kind of police brass, and one of the brass hats happened to visit the guard shack during the morning rush. He was APPALLED to see that nearly every pickup truck entering the base had a deer rifle in the back window. Not that there had ever been a problem, but he freaked out at the thought of all those rifles in civilian hands!
A new policy was instituted that afternoon.
BTTT.
Well written.
