Military bases are police states, with tight weapons regulations. While most units have weapons, they are almost all tightly controlled and kept in arms rooms except for training and maintenance. Oh, and for parades. Typically, live ammunition is only issued at the range.

The only folks routinely carrying weapons with ammunition are the security types - MP's and the like.

Hopefully the Cartels won't be trying that north of the border.

I think they eventually will. Sadly that's what it's going to take to lock the border down. A border town will have to be turned into a slaughter house to get people's attention.

Oh my, history would have to repeat itself. Columbus, NM was invaded by Pancho Villa, causing American deaths in 1916.

During this time, General (not yet) Patton killed one or more bad guys with his legendary ivory-gripped revolver(s).
One was an 1873 Peacemaker (.45 LC?) and the other was a more modern Smith and Wesson in .357.

I agree. Eagle Pass is where the Mossberg factory is. I assume Mossberg has adequate security.
