I was stationed at Fort Hood for 4 years from 2001-2005. I deployed to Iraq from there and it will always have a little piece of my heart.

One thought comes to mind about Ft. Hood. This is another example where a shooter feels comfortable enought to do this because military posts are " gun free zones", just like on a college campus. Lets pass laws that allow people carry concealed weapons on military bases and college campuses!!!! He would have been less likely to do this if he knew other Soldiers had pistols!!!!
He had never been deployed and just the thought that there were combat veterans walking around with pistols might have stopped this horrible event.
Long live the 2nd Amendment!!!!!!!

Anti-Hood, I was stationed at Ft Hood for 4 years. They have 4 golf courses, 2 Px's, 2 Movie theatres, bowling, Skeet shooting, Paintball and a lake where you can rent a bass boat.
You are 1 hour from Austin. You are 2 hours from Dallas. You are 2 hours from San Antionio.
I am from Dallas and was raised in the big city. I chose to stay in New Iberia because the people are friendly and it is a slower pace. "

As far as your comment,"podunk southern states", I guess carjackings, transvestites, crowded malls, gridlocked traffic, and tripping over homeless people, must be an acquired taste only for the most sophisticated of palates. Right? "

a) try to hide problems on a military installation like Hood.
b) Build a base like hood out in the middle of nowhere and expect morale to be high.
let's face it unless you're from texas or louisiana or any of the podunk southern states, and if you're from a rual area this is the best thing smokin' however if you're from the city and absolutely hate being out in the country this place is just plain bad. "

To Cajunator, Athiest, and Tom, what would it take to create the kind of situation you propose? Is it a state law that makes schools a gun and alcohol free zone? Just asking for help in order to understand this better. "

I can either "hope" that it never happens, or I can proactively "prepare" for it. I choose the latter. "

Newsflash: "Nutcases" already have guns.
Have you made any students angry lately? "
Cajunator wrote on Nov 6, 2009 10:10 PM:
"There are too many nutcases out there"
You see, the "nutcases" already bring their guns in "gun free zones". They don't need a law to tell them they can. And they aren't doing it for self defense. When they bring guns in "gun free zones" it's usually to murder defenseless law abiding people like you and me. When you walk into a "gun free zone", you are essentially bound by law to get raped, assaulted, or killed, if some "nutcase" says so. "

However, there’s no need for military to carry concealed. Senior NCO’s and officers in combat arms MOS’s should be allowed to carry openly on federal property.
Available weapons at Ft. Hood may not have prevented all the casualties but I believe it would have greatly reduced them.
I also believe that teachers in middle and high school should be able to carry concealed, and anyone in college over a certain age should also be able too. "
