McClure" <rmm () unidot com>Quite honestly I worry more about young National Guardsmen with M16's than I do about terrorists.Luckily, the practice is that National Guardsmen may not load their weapons unless specifically ordered to do so--and they are only ordered to do so if there is a specific threat. So the weapons are almost certainly unloaded. (Indeed, they might not be carrying live ammunition). In any event, they have no cartridge in the chamber, and so cannot fire by accident.
