Don't get me wrong, I'm sure everybody here knows that crazy guy who did the thing that time.. it happens, yes. My point is that it's not a common occurrence, and, not to discount your own personal experiences, anecdotes are just that.

And as you pointed out, the concealed carry requires an O-5 to sign off on it. Personal experience and completely anecdotal but I've never met anyone who could get their O-3 to sign off on storing personal weapons in the company arms room, so I highly doubt that an O-5 will allow a bunch of retard enlisted to carry on base. Plus, as soon as some rear end in a top hat does and inevitably shoots his battle buddy you just know that garrison commanders will ban concealed carry.

What was the reason behind that? I feel like the commander being a dick about storing weapons in the arms room (which would show a lot of prudence/rear end-covering on his part, legally speaking) for no good reason would be like if the commander for some reason banned the practice of Judaism in the barracks.

That said, only idiots would store their poo poo in the arms room vs a (VERY TRUSTED!!!) friend's house off-post/gun range locker.

gently caress, dude, I don't know what the reasons were, nor did I care because my gun was at my parents. If there was an actual reason beyond gently caress Joe I would be quite surprised. For reference that was while I was in first brigade at the 82nd. My understanding in Italy was you just didn't own guns over there.

risk averse cowardice that isn't borderline, but actual treason that should be punished by death.

Pretty accurate description of the military right there
