Not all military get all that much firearms/use of force training. Some of us only get training every 2.5 years. Granted, my job doesn't require it as much as a cop, but I'd prefer it if the Air Force adopted the Marines Corps' tradition of "rifleman first". And I've seen a lot of idiots I wouldn't want to be stuck in a foxhole with. I wouldn't mind having the option to carry, though, as long as there was some sort of training to go with it.
