No, FRiend. Untrue. Not around our nukes, and weapons systems. Standard US Navy procedures, in our ports and in foreign ports. For a nuclear fast attack sub in drydock— US Navy personnel, armed (M4 full auto, and M9 in combat gear). Our weapons storage area— United States Marines with shoot to kill clearance to defend— serious firepower. As we should expect for weapons that can remove many cities in one explosion.
We don’t hire rent a cops for this job.
Please reread my post. I concur with your statement. But it only applies to security personnel. The average soldier, sailor, airman, marine are prevented from carrying personal weapons.
