Weapons Free

I've seen places blaming Clinton.  I've seen places blaming Bush 41.

Way back when I was in, Reagan was president...  And the only times we had guns and ammo together was when we went to the range or when we were on a real alert.

All other times we were kept separated from ammunition at nearly all cost.

This disarmed on post thing is not a new thing.

    I've been trying to correct people wherever I've seen this, but it's an uphill battle. I was in from '84-'88, half of the time at Ft. Bragg, half in Italy. Not only were we not allowed to carry our service weapons and/or ammo except when needed for training or deployment, those of us who lived in the barracks and owned personal weapons were required to sign them over to the arms room and sign them out if the armorer was available and we wanted to use them off duty. The impression I got was that this had been the policy as long as anyone I served with could remember, but even just from my personal experience it predated Bush 41 by at least half a decade.

    It's a practice that started after WWI.
