Retired AF Guy said:Whole heartily agree with you. Our bases are woefully undefended and one of these days we may end up paying for it. And if I remember correctly, one of the targets of the "Toronto 18" was a military base in southern Ontario, so its not as far fetched as some people think.
I would not go so far as to say "woefully undefended". The threat of an active shooter on a CFB (terrorist or disgruntled soldier) has been recognized and IARD training is now part of the MP QL3, as well as ongoing qualification for the MP trade at large.
Still, I would feel much better if select individuals were encouraged to carry loaded while on duty.
But hey, as a reservist I don't spend much time on bases, my exposure is limited at best.
