WINCHESTER, Va. -
The horrific murder of four Marines and one Navy petty officer in Chattanooga showed the vulnerability of military recruitment centers. They are in public locations, and by law, they are “gun free zones” -- meaning the military that are there are not allowed to carry their weapons.
As the country realized the Marines that were killed were unarmed at the recruiting center, people have started showing up to provide security.
At 8 a.m. Friday morning, one man decided to spend his day off standing guard outside of a military recruitment center in Winchester, Virginia.
He is not worried about another attack like Chattanooga here. But he is making a statement.
People need to call their congressman, they need to call their senators and they need to change these laws that are on the books so these guys can protect themselves so a regular old citizen doesn't have to go out and do it,” he told us.
The man asked to remain unidentified, but he said when he heard about the four Marines killed by a terrorist in Tennessee, he thought, “Here we go again.”
“It’s fundamental Muslim extremism,” he said. “They declared war on us and we seem to not put it in perspective and realizing that the war is here.”

Who weeps for Beslan?
To most Americans, Beslan is an award for taking care of your grass.

Question:
“Who guards the guards?”
Answer:
“We the people.”
And “we the people” is also the answer to all of our dying nation’s problems. Sorry I’m so pissed I’m spitting nails over this Islamofascist killing of our soldiers and the complete disinterest by “our” Media and so-called “Commander-In-Chief.”
And this latest revelation of that Dr. Mengele and her Planned Parenthood Death Camp and the “Holocaust Deniers” in our government and media is appalling!!
America is going to pay dearly for this abomination.
CWII: Not if. When.
Congress, the Supreme Court, Hollywood, thePress, the University Systen, and now the Military are part of the Pretorian Guard.
I would dare to say the majority of Americans with children in public schools don’t have a clue about Beslan. The terrorist atrocities perpetrated there are some of the most horrific and unthinkable. If I had a school-age child, they would be home schooled, if for no other reason than Beslan. Schools are absolutely soft targets and IMO, an American Beslan is just a matter of time - the opportunity is already there with ‘gun free zones’.
In my minds eye I see a small snowball starting to roll down a snow covered mountain...
I sure hope so. It’s about time.
How does this: http://dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/521056p.pdf conflict with the second sentence in the story?
I would assume the federal govt can override local laws regarding firearm possession for govt personnel. lord knows they don’t usually care about state and local laws in every other aspect of life.
For those that don’t care to read the directive, it states non-security personnel can be armed if needed. I wish more people knew this directive existed. everyone acts like it’s impossible to arm our armed forces. we truly live in interesting times
Gibsmedat.
the current administration will probably have him arrested him for terrorism
Don’t give the bastards any ideas ...
There should be crowds of people standing there with guns to support this fella with signs that state “If our government refuses to protect our military and recruits, then we the people WILL!”
