I think that should be reconsidered, much like how the US revised how they had their fighter nets mostly unarmed prior to 9/11, but now have them sufficiently armed for fast response to airborne threats. Isreali soldiers often have their firearms shouldered but with the magazine in a holder attached to the weapon. I think no soldier should be unarmed (or only ceremonially armed with an weapon but no ammo) especially one on guard duty.

With the timing on this incident and the other one where the psycho used his vehicle, one is led to wonder if something is being organized among all the militant cretins within our borders.
