I guess I always considered military bases as the one acceptable gun free zone.
I think the Army has more issues to worry about than just allowing guns on base. There is a major gang problem (Fort Bragg alone has 13 identified gangs operating on base), and the condition of some of the living quarters is about equal to a middle class getto.
This is a base by base issue, no way they should just make a blanket policy. Training bases need to be gun free, while a active duty base might be ok with allowing it. Personally I cant see the military allowing CC.
With respect, there are gangs out here in the real world as well. Surely we carry advocates don't see the logic in disarming people when there is a higher chance that they will need to defend themselves. I wouldn't want to live anywhere undefended. MP's take just as long as local LEO's to respond.
I say let people carry anywhere. If they do something stupid, they will be dealt with accordingly, just like one of us out here in the real world. There will be no more victim-disarmament zones for people to prey on, and shoot 50 people before being stopped.

Talked with 2 soldiers yesterday on the subject. They said the same thing. They have guns, just not allowed to have amo at the same time. They thought they were to protect us not a police chick, one awesome chick for sure they said. But it is susposed to be the other way around. Thought this was cool, they both are still shocked that the guy is still alive, no way that guy should be wasting o2, someone should have waxed him...............
I personally think a nurse shoulda accidentaly put bleach in his IV followed by an "I'm so sorry" JMO
I think it is crazy that soldiers ( of any branch of the military) can't carry their issued sidearm on base, I don't think they should be allowed, it should be reguired to carry on base. We are sending them out to war but can't trust them on our soil. It dosen't make sense to me.

I'd rather see him in solitude for the rest of his life with no human interaction and an hour a day of caged daylight.
As far as military personnel with guns, they are likely better trained than some current LTCH'ers. It is ridiculous to me why our warriors are nuetered when they are on base. A war is a war and the warrior should be protecting our freedoms globally when at war. Protect and defend the constitution, only in war zones...thanks, but no thanks.
However, I've seen some extremely unstable individuals coming back from war zones. Now, I've done it.... opened up the whole emotional stability and well-being TEST in order to allow someones 2A. Excuse me, do you feel depressed? Can you explain this prescription?
If the service person is fit for duty and deployable, give them a firearm. Give them all the tools needed to protect themselves and us during wartime, regardless of location. As a matter of fact, give them active shooter training, give them ammo, give them training on how to identify themselves in the midst of an incident. Give them all the tools needed to fight terrorists, like Hasan. Ooopps, sorry POTUS, I used the terror word.
