I am seeing a big disconnect in the logic here.
Why are you assuming that the only soldiers who do or would bring weapons on post and carry concealed are those who would be CCW holders?
Did Hasan have a CCW for Ft Hood? Did the lack of one stop him?
Can a soldier with PTSD not just tuck his weapon in his belt and bring it on post already? Would the numbers of these people really go up if we had a an installation CCW? We are talking about bases with hundreds of access points, not an airport. I can already illegally bring a concealed weapon on post and carry it into one of the clubs. Why would a selected number of trained CCW personnel increase the number of illegally armed soldiers?
Your logic is the same that the anti-CCW community uses, Triman.
And I would stack the training and qualifications of many members of this board against yours. Should you lose your right to carry concealed because of that?
