Nothing to do with MPs...they are armed.VMI77 wrote:To clarify, are you talking about a general procedure for obtaining a weapon, or are you saying the MP's had to go to the armory and sign out a weapon in order to respond to the shooter?Cjwglock19 wrote:General got asked several questions about soldiers carrying concealed. Seems they have to sign weapon in and out of armory. Took 10-15 minutes for MPs to get to scene and engage. Just makes you wonder...
I pass Ft Hood everyday going to work, prayers for all involved and their families.
I meant a soldier who lives on post but has a CHl.
As I understand it, I will use my father inlaw as an example. He is retired army, if he goes aboard post, he must "check-in" his weapon as a chl holder to retrieve as he leaves ( he drops it off at my house usually)My understanding is that if a chl holder lives aboard post, he must go through the process as well. I used the word "seems" as I am not 100% sure! hoped someone could clarify. So I am talking about the soldier policy for concealed weapons. As I assumed, that has been a headline in the news today.
Once again a gun free zone and the shooter turns gun on himself when challenged by armed authority.
