Yeah sorry bout that I know it doesn't apply I just like saying it.I knew someone would send posse comitatus out there. I am not exercising any authority, I just don't like leaving guns with someone I don't know. Just like when we escort ammo guns and other valuable assets to and from ranges in Yakima, Fort Lewis or to ceremonial functions, there is always an armed Marine to watch over the group and weapons for self defense and defense of property not involving national security but inherently dangerous to others (guns and ammo). Posse comitatus has no bearing here and neither do any of the other arguments. I was sent on a mission by my PLATOON COMMANDER....not C.O., to get points of contact and attempt to arrange training with PC sheriff SWAT (official business) as per our SOP I drew my weapon from the armory and went about my business. The government looks at me like an investment and a very valuable tool and they will have it protected as much as possible. While I am working I am armed and they encourage those who are able, to buy their own guns while on liberty. The RCWs are very clear and they were in violation of them....plain and simple.
