FIREARMS ON MILITARY BASES

After the deadly attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida U.S. Senator Rick Scott, is asking that military officers be allowed to carry guns on military bases. A Saudi Arabian aviation student shot and killed three people and wounded eight others on December 6th at NAS Pensacola. He was killed by Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies. Fox News is reporting that dozens of U.S. Navy pilots are writing to lawmakers and military commanders to ask that pilots be allowed to carry weapons on military bases. Currently, firearms are prohibited on bases without prior approval. Senator Scott said he would push for a policy change.
