[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2294388, member: 5197"] I get the larger point everyone is trying to make, but bear in mind that the article linked only says that there were Marines at the Barracks who had weapons. That's it. It doesn't reference any context related to why they had them, in what capacity they were serving, nothing. There's no mention of them just standing around in some official capacity with empty weapons. It also doesn't say how they "had" them. Were they sitting around the dayroom playing Call of Duty with M4s body-slung? Probably not. Were the weapons locked in the arms room's racks where access, at best, would have been delayed well past the point of law enforcement showing up? Probably. Now, as far as lawful carry of POWs on-post I'm for it. Stupid rules often breed stupid results. Prohibitions on lawful carry of firearms on-post are stupid rules. Those in uniform and the civilians who support them deserve better options than shelter/die-in-place. [/QUOTE]
