New Hampshire
Armed Citizens Protect Military Recruitment Center
By Ken Jorgustin
July 22, 2015
A woman who asked not to be identified thanks the armed civilians out
front of a Manchester, New Hampshire, military recruiting center after
the recent shooting by “Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez” who opened fire on
two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five
service members and wounding one other service member and a police
officer.
bulletThe armed men who stood outside a military recruiting center in
New Hampshire said they wanted to provide security for the people
working inside after last week’s shooting in Tennessee.
The reason? Believe it or not there are bans on most military personnel
— who are forbidden from carrying firearms on military bases and
recruitment facilities.
Similar to any gun-free zone, by disarming the Armed Forces, gun-free
policies at military facilities have made our men and women in uniform
easy targets for terrorist attacks.
When did this policy start?
Apparently this “gun free zone” type policy is intertwined with
policies implemented during the Clinton era as well as under George
H.W. Bush, based on the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5210.56,
and Army Regulation 190-14.
Well in New Hampshire, citizens are taking matters into their own
hands. Armed citizens have gathered outside a Manchester military
recruiting center to protect the military. Tim Dow (pictured above),
said he spoke with a Manchester police officer who was patrolling the
shopping center across South Willow Street from the Mall of New
Hampshire. Dow said he also spoke with some of the staff inside the
office, who he said appreciated their efforts. The public response has
been positive. People have been stopping by, getting out of their
vehicles and thanking for the efforts.
While it is legal in New Hampshire to do what they’re doing (they
actually uphold the 2nd Amendment here), in other states you would be
arrested right quick…
With that said, what is your opinion of this situation? Will the
military here at home continue to be ‘targets’ because of their “gun
free” policies? Is this yet another example of how so called “gun free
zones” really don’t work?
