Would military bases be more secure if mature, responsible, and cleared active duty soldiers carried pistols (other than just the MPs)?

Depends how people react in a situation. IF MPs are on the scene and they have it under control.... do not pull your weapon unless you have a good shot. IF you are there and no MP or official response yet, we depend on you. It could work. But, everyone needs to be trained and not conflict with the professionals.

Yes absolutely agree I honestly think it should just be leadership to get that opportunity due to being older and the combat experience provided they are cleared and have a extensive class on the 5 W's and the how

Honestly? Yes. Military membeta are expected to be able to handle a weapon anyways, why not allow it? Some base commanders have begun allowing this. I think it will be a growing trend.
