Why on earth would want every soldier at Ft Dix to be walking around with a loaded weapon?
Why not??
They didn't even allow that on the major bases in Vietnam, and for good reason. Do you know how dangerous is it is to have every Tom, Dick, and Jane, packing? Do you know how many accidents occur even in a combat infantry unit? Just off the top of my head I can think of two wounded and one killed via firearms accidents in the units I was in. And that only scratches the surface or reasons not to allow it.
Ahh, I appreciate you using some facts and experience, vs just trying to convey how superior in knowledge you appear to think yourself to be. So, the biggest reason appears to be some "accident". I suppose from a mathematical standpoint, that makes some sense. Less packing, less accidents.
I can post the same level of facts and experience that produce #'s, in this country such as.....the greatest # of gun crimes occur in areas with the strictest gun laws/restrictions.....with the connected level of decreased gun crime, in areas with more permissive gun laws......that the predominant form of gun used in murders are handguns, not Bushmasters,....and that wonderful recent revelation, that despite the increase in the #'s firearms owned, and more people exercising their right to own a firearm, that we've actually had a DECREASE in violent crime, over that same time.
Outside of Zimmerman, who was the last person with a CCW that "went off" on some mass murder spree??
Glad we had this conversation
