Are they allowed to have ammo in their firearms ... hope so
The Kentucky National Guard was called out to the Louisville race riots in 1968. I had a couple of neighbors who went, and they were sent out with rifles that were NOT loaded, which was what they were ordered to do. One of the neighbors, who probably stole at least one of everything the Guard had, had took some ammo with him, and passed it out to his buddies. One of the guys told me later, that it sure felt good knowing he had a chance to shoot back if fired upon.
