Military Pistol Standard (Not a Pistol Selection)

[LRRPF52]

Getting this to SECDEF Mattis would be incredible!!! Anybody have his email address? Seriously, it may be a pipe dream, but I'd love to see this get enough traction to make it into the White House.

You'll want some more consensus and input across the board, to include that of CID investigators, NCIS, MPs, Infantry, etc.

One major concern they are going to have is accountability of military weapons that are transferred on and off post, as well as disgruntled soldier/Marine incidents.

Will the risk to benefit ratio favor "lone wolves" who were abused by their Chain of Command, or will it favor prevention of more incidents on and off post?

I recall an incident in the 82nd where some knuckleheads drew weapons and went and robbed a bank downtown in Fayetteville.

These concerns will have to be weighed and addressed. There are certain career management fields and units that this should be happening in already who are in a different trust level, but it also raises the question of equality and the ability to defend oneself, since the military has largely failed to enhance force protection in a meaningful way.
