I wonder if the other services will follow suit...
REPORT: A review of active shooter cases by the Air Force has confirmed what gun rights advocates have long been saying: Firearms in the hands of good guys are often the best bet for stopping massacres.
The [Air Force] earlier this month sent out a letter to its base commanders around the nation reminding them that they can authorize subordinates to carry guns, even while off-duty and out of uniform. It also established three programs to help ensure that armed service members are in a position to protect their bases.
"None of these programs gives the installation commander authorizations they didn't already have the authorization to do," Maj. Keith Quick, the Air Force Security Forces Integrated Defense action officer, said in a statement according to Military.com. "We are now formalizing it and telling them how they can use these types of programs more effectively."

Other people's lives is the price liberals have been willing to pay to try to push their anti-gun agendas, including the lethal gun-free zones -- a mind-boggling mentality to inflict on military bases of all places. It's about damned time someone started making some grown-up decisions.
