Lawmaker, Airman Proposes Bill To Let National Guard Soldiers Carry Weapons on Base

In the wake of last week's deadly shootings at the Navy installations in Tennessee, a Maryland lawmaker is proposing a bill to let Maryland National Guard soldiers carry weapons for protection while on base.

He's been an airman in the Maryland National Guard for seven years, and Senate Minority Leader J.B. Jennings says many of his fellow National Guard soldiers are worried about their safety, especially after last week's shootings in Chattanooga, where five sailors and Marines died.

It's why Jennings pre-filed a bill for the January Maryland General Assembly session.

I believe all Military personal who are qualified to carry be allowed to carry. I also think all veterans should also be allowed to carry

All military should be allowed to car guns at all times. But not the general public.

It's a freakin' MILITARY base. If one can not have weapons on a military base then it's not much of a military, is it?

Remember it was Hillary that did not allow guns at los Alamos nuke facility because they intimidated the college students.
