Re: Shooting at Fort Hood, Texas
"nobody knows" how that 1 live round got in there, he could have smuggled it from the range or found it somewhere. It caused an immediate emergency standdown and we had to gather up all blanks and 3 of us go through every one of them to check for more live rounds. I could tell stories of all the stupid stuff that went on during "down time" when everyone got bored

Absofreakinglootley.
The elected officials of the day had to be dragged kicking and screaming to pony up money to build 3 frigates (USS Constitution being one of them) to combat the Barbary Pirates that were holding our commerce hostage.
They absolutely DID NOT WANT a large or powerful military after having just thrown out the Brits.All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

Re: Shooting at Fort Hood, Texas
I know of only 1 guy in my unit that had a gun on base it was a 12ga and kept in the unit armory, but I was stationed in HI and it is hard enough to buy a gun out there without all the millitary bs added into tryn to keep it. I think they had 1 day a month on the range where you could shoot a privately owned weapon, but only e6 and above could have a gun in their car and you werent about to walk 5mi each way

Re: Shooting at Fort Hood, Texas
Greetings,
Thanks for the reply CL. In regard to your first paragraph, aren't those same sub-types of people also represented in society as a whole? For example, (and I'm not speaking for anyone in this particular thread) we on the group have had discussions about university students being permitted (or not) to carry on campus, in dorms, etc.. IIRC, in general the group thought seemed to be if a given state law allowed a carry permit via whatever process, then the students should be subject only to the same guideline. We've also discussed carry on employers' property. Some feel an individual property owners rights trump those of the employee while on those grounds, while some feel the employee shouldn't have to give up a self defense option due to it.
What makes these scenarios completely different from a mil base?
In regard to your second paragraph; again, if an individual has met whatever state criteria exist for a carry permit............should not that alone be the standard baseline for the ability to carry? Plenty of discussion has gone on regarding mandated training and such; but IMO (and using PA LTCF standards as my reference) any training, certifications, etc. beyond the basic permit requirements are up to the individuals specific needs (as he alone sees fit) and are his responsibility to pursue. I feel (as do others) that training requirements are a very slippery slope, easily abused by an issuing entity to potentially put the "price of admission" beyond the means of the citizen (by combinations of high cost, unusual length of time, location, qualifications of the trainers, course material, etc.).
Lastly, the fact that virtually every "mass" shooting has occurred in a "gun free zone" seems to me to indicate a serious problem with that concept.
I could go on, but think I've made my point and would be interested in your response. Thanks!
Regards, Jim
