Pete Ricketts makes a good move

This looks promising.  Hopefully he'll be open to the militia being armed too, by taking state power away from anti-gun bigots who post no guns signs; then all we'll need is for the legislature to get on board...

"to arm personnel as he deems necessary"

That concerns me.

It was really left up to the commander to decide who carries. I wouldn't get to excited right now.

That was exactly my point. If he doesn't want to he doesn't have to. I am glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that way.

Better than nothing, but not as far as he should have gone.

I had a long post types up but didn't post it the other day.... But it's a PR stunt imo.

The lincoln recruiting office is in the Old armory on military rd its inside a 8' wire fence with a minimum wage cell phone armed guard at the gate.

After 911 is when they installed all that and had armed millitary guards at the gates. Now we sit at a "low" threat level no more real security .

It's all just a public smoke screen to make you think everyone is safe.
