Recruiting stations are soft targets and are a prime target for terrorist. Would you carry your POW concealed while in uniform?

Personally, I think it's WAY past time we started having serious discussion about repealing the restriction of certain members being armed in the duty sections. Especially at soft targets such as admin offices, recruiting centers, and the like.

On-base issue of weapons wouldn't be that difficult. Security Forces, Military Police, and other armed guards do that routinely as they come on shift. Working out logistics for off-post locations would be a bit more involved and I'll freely admit I don't know the solution to that one.

Were it permitted, I would most certainly be armed with my POW where practical.

Yes, of course, if it were authorized. The DOD needs to realize we are at war around the world and at home, the we are the target, and we need to adjust our antiquated security thinking and policies. Recruiting stations need to be armed (as do many places)... and unfortunately, with the weaponry evil doers bring, a concealed pistol is probably not the best solution. When I am in a gun fight. I want the biggest gun(s) and the most ammo.

Not without prior approval. It's one thing to carry and something does pop up and you defend yourself. The next is before that evens gets a chance the military will have that @$@ counseled and facing punitive actions.
