In light of recent terrorist threats directly against U.S. Military personnel, members should be allowed to carry a personal firearm for protection. Members are at their most vulnerable while transiting from home to work in uniform when they, unlike a civilian, do not have the option be armed with a personal firearm. They have the option to be armed in their homes and are certainly protected on the installations. It's during this transition members are literally advertised targets for terrorists. There are already several instances of individual members being attacked in uniform here on our own soil and other coalition countries. Military personnel have the training. Give them a fighting chance.
