It is happening all over. It just does not hit the papers often or stay there....be aware everyone regardless where you are.

This is exactly what an "Armed Force" is supposed to be capable of dealing with. That's why it's so critical for those of us in the "Armed Forces" to actually be armed.

Concealed carry for all current service members (CAC holders)? | RallyPoint

Should uniformed military be allowed to conceal carry any were in the U.S. with a CAC as a license due to increased threats to military personnel?

SSgt (Join to see) I need to read that book. Have you been over to the other thread and weighed in yet?

SSgt (Join to see), in an odd way his satire unfolded going based on the fact that the only President to serve more than 2 terms was FDR. Second fairly quickly after his death they moved to constitutionally limit future Presidents from serving more than 2 terms. FDR did try a lot of things like establishing prices for services and prosecuting any business person who tried to offer lower prices than what was established, legally forcing the sale of people's personal stock of gold, through Executive order 6102, trying to stack the Supreme Court by trying to increase the number of Justices because he did not like them ruling against his New Deal policies.

MSgt Allan Folsom, have you headed over to the other thread (above) and kicked in on the ideas we're pulling together for writing to congress on the matter?

What pisses me off is the people that are disrespecting Canada and the Canadian troops who were killed. CPL Nathan Cirillo was standing guard at the Canadian Tomb of the Unknowns, when he was gunned down. I am sure if the same thing happened at Arlington, Americans would be up in arms. I live two hours from the Canadian/New York border and if I climb up McCauley Mountain I can see Canada. So yes this was close to home for me.

The interesting thing to me is that the IMMEDIATE statement was "not a terrorist act". While the smoke was clearing, nobody knew.

Apparently, we have the fastest investigative techniques in the world.

Sad, but true. The one thing about America is we put too much sensitive information in the news.

I have family in Ottawa. I'm glad to know they are okay. I feel bad for the Soldier that was killed.

I also read that earlier in the week/last week someone shot a Canadian soldier and was caught at the airport prior to flying to Turkey for Terrorist activitiy.... Nobody is going to be safe from this... maintain vigalance, and be prepared to act/re-act for situations.

I'd say its probably not part of a wider trend, if it is its the very first two attacks. Vigilance in self-protection is always warranted but Id caution against government action. I posted an interesting article on the topic in this thread: https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/canadian-attacks-journalism-sensationalism-and-bias

Canadian Attacks, Journalism, Sensationalism and Bias | RallyPoint

This article makes some great points about the above topics. Had anyone else heard about the attack in June resulting in 3 KIA? Did anyone not see rolling 24/7 of this most recent attack? http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/10/canada-should-keep-calm-and-carry-on/381928/?single_page=true I hadn't heard about the attack in June at all. Awareness of threats is important, so is data. I'm far more likely to be killed by idiotic...

People need to pull their head out of the sand it is going to happen and is happening. I'm afraid radicalism will just get worse and folks will continue to say we have no problem. Others will say you are just a paranoid right wing fanatic. Then again we can all just continue to call it work place violence.
