For heaven's sake, at least let guys licensed for concealed carry in the state the base is in carry ON THE BASE!!


And the big thing I note again, is that yet another mass shooting occurred where the shooter has been on anti-depressants. And the media is silent. Not even talk about looking for a link. Is it the anti-depressants causing it, or is it just very likely that folks who do this crap will already be on them?


What advantage is there for a soldier or Marine to have to have a CCW before they can carry their service handgun on base?


None, to the lawful and the just. Plenty to the unlawful and the government.
