“The base is still a “Gun Free Zone”—AKA “Killing fields”
A “gun-free” Army post. I want to say it’s shamelful, but after two shooting incidents it’s more like (Benghazi) criminal negligence.
Obama’s “my security team” `hope and change’, 2014! Watch closely: they will do nothing to improve Ft. Hood security after this second shooting as well.
Shameful and culpable.
Military personnel now guard the gates. 1 pistol(9mm) and MAYBE a rifle in the gatehouse. Rifle would not be loaded if SOP has not changed. They do not search cars; it would be impossible to do it and do it properly without lines that stretched for miles all day. It would not be hard to take a weapon on post if you want to...obviously. When they were present civilian guards carried 9mm; that is why Hassan is still alive.
I have CCW for Texas, but I can’t carry on post. One wonders why? The CG can’t guarantee my safety, the MP’s aren’t everywhere. But I just can’t protect myself. That is why I go to Ft. Hood about once every few months.
Retired here and try to play by the rules. But sometimes I wonder.....?
