I would take my POV home with these weapons in it and they would stay there all weekend and went with me wherever we drove....I was armed with a 38 and had my radio......it was not a secret that this happened, if I did not do it another armor did, it had been going on for years. Clinton changed things making military bases gun free zones, making that "illegal"
We now have the Unit Marshal program, LEOSA and a couple other programs on some military bases and Trump is making it better. Some bases allow you to carry concealed with a state issue concealed carry permit from the gate to the gas station, the grocery store, bx and such, but not to go into them.
Under the LEOSA program a on duty cop can carry his POW to work, store it in vehicle or arms room, arm up and go to work & when they get off duty arm up again and go where they want...some bases limit where they can go, it's stupid one min you can carry a gun on duty and the net not be trusted....it's changing.....
You can be 20 years old and responsible for 3 M1A tanks and the entire crew....I know people who at the age of 19 had the sole responsibility to secure nuclear weapons they were personal responsible for a ICBM open launcher...at 19....how about the 19 year old crew chief on a B 52, he makes one mistake and that plane can crash and kill everybody....Yet they can't drink....cant buy a gun, can't be trusted off base with a gun....with a beer....but ya can vote...and drive....and have a sex change....be married and have kids...but not own a gun....that's just insane
