[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 2293480, member: 20220"] I still haven't seen a definitive, trustworthy report on what firearms he carried, and how he obtained them. I've heard that he started with a (Biden-approved) shotgun, shooting a security person and disarming them. I've heard that he bought everything he had. Side note: when were troops disarmed? I know my FIL (was an Army Intel WO) spoke of carrying pretty much 24/7 due to his duties and knowledge. I've heard that up into the 60s, NCOs would carry a sidearm at all times on post. A friend of mine says it was post commander's discretion until Clinton's term when he disarmed all non-security troops. I know in the 80s in Germany, troops pulling post gate duty did not routinely carry ammo, unless THREATCON was elevated. As a gate-guard MP in 69th ADA Brigade, I carried 10 rounds in an ammo pouch, and woe unto anyone caught with a loaded weapon. Only loaded the magazine when I was on road patrol. [/QUOTE]
