PackinVB,
I would have to disagree with you on the part about the is NO need for any military personnel to be carrying off base in line with their duties.
I carried off base when I was Brig Chasing. The MP's carry off base all the time going to pick up military personnel that might have been detained in the local jails, or to investigate crimes involving military people who may be involved or be victims of crimes.
I know it's not something that happens to much to day. But there were times when we got paid in cash so the payroll officer and several NCO's with sidearms and M-16's would go pick up the payroll.
We would carry our sidearms and rifles when we were transporting out 50 cals and other weapons over to El Toro for level 1 & 2 maintance. So there are many times when military personnel may be called on to wear or carry weapons in the line of duty while off base.
Just thought I should point that out.
