Abbott orders Texas National Guard to carry guns at military facilities
« on: July 18, 2015, 06:17:15 pm »
First Arkansas, then Oklahoma, now Texas. Governors are stepping up where the Feds are failing.

Quote
Gov. Greg Abbott says he is reluctantly asking Texas Military Forces to arm soldiers at their home bases after Thursday’s attacks at military sites in Tennessee that killed four Marines and one sailor.

Abbott said in a release Saturday that he will authorize Adjutant General John Nichols of the Texas National Guard to arm National Guard personnel at military facilities across Texas. Abbott’s move followed shootings on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn.

“It is with a heavy heart that I issue this order,” he said.

The Republican governor said the Chattanooga events made “clear that our military personnel must have the ability to defend themselves against these type of attacks on our own soil. Arming the National Guard at these bases will not only serve as a deterrent to anyone wishing to do harm to our service men and women, but will enable them to protect those living and working on the base.”...

Note: Governor Abbott didn't use the word 'reluctantly' as the reporter said. He said 'with a heavy heart' which doesn't imply reluctance.

Of course not.  He's part of the reason they're disarmed in the first place.

Not counting on Brown of CA, or the other left coast states either.....
