Sgt. Quornelius Radford was the shooter. Used a Personally Owned Weapon. Previously arrested offpost for DUI.

SO glad nobody was killed. It sounds like Radford didn't need to be in the Armed Services, anyway.

There are a whole lot of folks who don't need to be in the Armed Services, or anywhere in public, for that matter!

He sounds like somebody that has been headed for trouble and has now become dangerous. Most probably he'll be the same in regular society, so whevever he gets out of this pack of trouble, he'll be on the streets so watch out.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Sounds like someone who should have never been in the Armed Forces and that happens sometimes....

Why does that piece of garbage have a beard? More to this story, look forward to hearing the rest. I'm grateful the victims will all survive, hopefully without lifelong disabilities.

I think people would be shocked to learn how many service members...especially Guard members...are subject to the Lautenberg Amendment.

Today's military is not our fathers (Korean) or grandfathers (WWII) military, it contains representatives from ALL elements of today's society and not always for beneficial reasons.
25 or more years ago I attended a monthly county law enforcement meeting in which the representative from the local US Air Force Security Forces brought up open gang activity on the local base. The AF Security Forces were encountering an increasing number of criminal enterprises actively being conducted on the base by gang members who were USAF personnel. At that time drug trafficking, burglary of base housing units and personal vehicles parked on base were common. There apparently had also been a couple incidents of rival gang disputes resulting in assaults on the base.
Some folks join the military to avoid going to jail, some join to escape poverty and some join with the intention of getting access to weapons, techniques and information/technology that can benefit those in society that should not have access. If the USAF was encountering this issue it is reasonable to assume all branches of the services were running into the same problems.
Then there are those individuals who have or developed demons within that we just don't see until they show themselves.

Justice under UCMJ can move quickly at times. In this case I believe the perp will be spending time in Leavenworth, where he belongs.

Something else I wonder about...how did he have a personal firearm on base? Is that allowed now? I recall my son got in deep trouble at Camp Lejeune over one single 30-06 round. He returned to his room after a weekend deer hunt and inadvertently forgot one round in his pocket. It was discovered and he was in deep trouble...back to Private he went, but that's the Marine Corps. Is it just the Army that has lax security?

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

The news stories mention an off-post arrest for DUI. IIRC in today's military that is a career ender, a bat to reenlistment, perhaps that was-pardon the term-what finally "triggered " him.
Army 1967-1971, then National Guard and Reserves until 1998. I have always been a little skeptical about the people they enlist today, too much of the "it's just a job" attitude, DEI means people are promoted not for what they can but for who they are.

Best likely outcome. I don't guess he could do the Danny Deever for multiple attempted murder.

He'll be making little ones out of big ones for a very long time.

In the Air Force, we kept firearms in base housing, drove to the base skeet range to shoot them, drove on and off base to go hunting. In Alaska, it was not unusual to see guys riding 3- or 4-wheelers around with rifles strapped to them. Single enlisted could not keep them in the barracks was the main restriction.

The Corps is real picky about private weapons or ammo in your vehicle or on your person. Not supposed to have them there at all, except when going hunting, or shooting at an approved shooting range. To just drive around with one is strictly verboten!!!

Same general rules apply in the Corps. At most bases (USMC), deer hunting aboard the station is allowed in designated areas (shotgun only). https://www.cherrypoint.marines.mil... have a North,three years for returning users.

If one is of certain ethnicity and " claims to have a skin condition" he can have a beard. Having private weapon on base is a big no no, going to graybar hotel…

I know when my brother in law was stationed at Ft Stewart back in the early 70's they could hunt at Ft Stewart and I am sure they still do. As far as the gun regulations I have no idea. Of course either way the guy that did the shooting was not suppose to have one with him at the time and place of the shooting per the news reports.

 

[Rustyt1953]

I was stationed with many men who had pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps) and had shaving waivers.

It is nigh on impossible to use a razor without cutting the tops off all those bumps.
