more armed Soldiers in garrison.

In light of the Fort Hood Shooting should more Soldiers other than military and contracted security be authorized to carry a loaded firearm while in garrison?

I my opinion Officers, Senior NCO's and any additional duty patrols should be authorized.

As a senior weapons/combat engineer, My troops and I are well trained in weapons Security/use of these sidearm and would add to the safety of all troops in garrison.

While well intended, I'd have to give a negative on this. It would require weapons and ammo control issues. Not to mention potential collateral damage should these weapons be fired in garrison. Leave policing up to base security.
