In Wake of Attacks, Gov. Fallin Authorizes Adjutant General to Arm Full-Time Military Personnel.
OKLAHOMA CITY –-(Ammoland.com)- Governor Mary Fallin today authorized Oklahoma’s adjutant general, Maj. Gen. Robbie L. Asher, to arm full-time personnel at installations like the military facilities that were attacked Thursday in Chattanooga, Tenn.
“Four unarmed Marines were killed in what appears to be a domestic terrorist attack,” said Fallin.
“It is painful enough when we lose members of our armed forces when they are sent in harm’s way, but it is unfathomable that they should be vulnerable for attack in our own communities. For that reason, I want to make sure that our National Guardsmen are authorized to arm themselves at our military facilities.”
Fallin issued an executive order allowing Asher to arm certain full-time personnel in military installations throughout Oklahoma with weaponry as he deems necessary “to adequately provide for security of the facilities and their occupants.”
Such installations shall include, but not be limited to, military recruiting offices.
In another executive order, the governor instructed that all American and Oklahoma flags on state property be flown at half-staff through 8 a.m. Monday in honor of the four Marines killed.
“This attack is a horrible tragedy for our country and especially those in the state of Tennessee,” Fallin said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those who were killed.”
It is about time to use common sense.
All Americans have the right and duty to defend themselves against
Islamists, including Obama and all the leftist traitors and scumbags in his
regime.
Thank you Governor Fallon for your patriotism and concern for our troops. Too bad we don’t have a patriot like you in the white house.
Governor Mary Fallin has more balls than every cowardly democrat, many republican members of congress, most of the supreme court and the POS playing golf in the white house. In 15 months we can throw every democrat out of office, plus many republicans and elect pro AMERICANS. Only 551 more days and the communist muslim is gone unless God intervenes sooner..
GREAT MOVE, Governor. Authorize the Adjutant General to arm ALL NCOs and commissioned officers, including the State Militia, unorganized militia, and military retirees. 24/7/365 EVERYWHERE.
Agree with Ken except for one thing. The Traitorous scum in the White House doesn’t deserve the title of “Mr. President”! Inmate is the only title he deserves.
Amen! Thank you!
If the president will not stand up for our military; all GOVERNORS need to arm their Natuonal Guards. Kudos to this Governor who had the guts and common sense to arm her military.
Community organizers only know how to divide groups, not unite. A House Divided will surely fall.
We are at war with radical Islam. Our enemy is not peaceful Muslims but rather radical Islam. Say it Mr. President !
