Matt BlazeThe knowledge that the National Guard troops that I must pass on my way to my office this morning are now armed and with live ammo is *not* making me feel safer.
Seriously, I was concerned about this in an abstract way when I learned of the new policy, but in person, my reaction was involuntary and visceral. "These people might shoot me" was constantly on my mind.
Steve Bellovin@mattblaze Why, just because most of them aren't trained in handgun use or rules for the use of deadly force, and are apparently carrying pistols that some believe can fire by themselves without a trigger pull?

There has been some investigation on that, and the #USMilitary recently returned the pistols to service.
