Didn't see this posted...
There is an interesting Amazon Wish List listed under the name Ivan Lopez.
I could have sworn that some bases tried to pull this regulation, and then Congress quashed it in the authorization act of..2011? Specifically forbade the regulation of private firearms off of base.
No. It was not.
For what I have hears it was a 1911 or some other .45 ACP. Translated by the media it is AK-47, AR-15, a Glock or a Red Rider BB gun. Definitely an automatic. (sarcasm)
Good Ole’ CNN: “How did weapons get on a military base?”
Wait’ll they discover that some of our military is armed...
I thought I read somewhere that they actually made an arrest of (1) person. But I believe they were looking for two.
If this is another case of someone who never should have been cleared in the first place getting enlisted, getting access, whatever, ..... Way too flimsy on our security anymore. Sickening...and tragic.
You know, I though of that too. I was pleasantly surprised when I only heard (at the time) there was one dead.
This is just what TV and newspaper reporters say when they have no idea what they are talking about and it doesn't look like it was an "assault rifle".
It doesn't alarm the masses to say it was a "common pistol". I saw a gun control ad the other day warning about "exploding lazer rounds".
34 year old Spec?
Isnt that old for a Spec?
The regulation is what I read about being published after Hasan’s terrorist attack. I don’t have a copy, but there is probably a copy on line somewhere.
I was at Ft. Hood 78-80 and I could keep my personal rifle in my apartment off post and in my quarters on post. But that was back then, when there was the traditional attitude toward gun ownership and not today’s ‘guns are bad, only the government should have them’ belief.
Enforcement: up to soldiers to obey regulations. Other than that, there is such a thing of ‘health and welfare’ inspections that a commander can still do of soldier’s post housing and off post quarters.
Ed-in the Army you are a under military regulations 24 hours a day, thus this type of order can be legally written by the post commander.
This isn’t the Army we were in in the 70s.
Wow, I had no idea!
You mean the commanding officer doesn’t need a warrant to enter your private apartment??
I had no idea things were such with the military!
Thanks!

Levin was livid about that tonight. Through up some curtains for his “speech” and then off to fund raiser #2.
What would that be? I have laser sights on a couple handguns, but I want some of those exploding rounds.
Where is George Zimmerman?
In the calm calculus of reason
Just for the hell of it.

Pay particular attention to Chapters 3&4.
In trouble, no doubt.... < /s >
Where are you?

I had not heard of it, but hopefully Congress did it.
G-F
Someone posted that even if you live off base, you must now keep your firearms in some sort of munitions locker on the base. Can’t even have them in your home? Not sure if this just at Ft. Hood or all installations.
My son is sixteen and told me recently he was thinking about the Air Force or Navy. Said I would support him all the way. If the above is true I may have to advise him against a military career. Can’t believe I just said that.
I believe we should the extend to ban on gun possession, (which is really ownership) to retired military personal too! Once a soldier, always a soldier. </sarc>
Wrong, you can throw staplers while rounds are coming at ya. With luck you can get a disabling hit, maybe poke out an eye, spoil their aim.
