Breitbart – by Bob PriceHOUSTON, Texas — The JAG (Judge Advocate General) Office of the Texas National Guard (TNG) briefed guardsmen about to be deployed to South Texas to leave their personal firearms at home. This applies even if the guardsman has a Texas Concealed Handgun License or is a certified peace officer in their civilian life.
This briefing was disclosed by one of the soldiers who is about to be deployed to a section of the Rio Grande Sector of the Texas/Mexico border as part of Governor Rick Perry’s 1,000 soldier deployment order. “They told us we are considered to be ‘on duty’ 24/7,” the soldier told Breitbart Texas. “Even when we are in civilian clothes, we are not allowed the same right of self-protection as any other citizen of this state.”
He also told Breitbart Texas he expects to be deployed to the border this coming weekend.
Breitbart Texas reached out to the Texas National Guard Public Affairs Office (PAO) for confirmation. “To accurately answer your inquiry,” The TNG PAO responded, “we will have to confer with our JAG office. As soon as we have the answer to your question, we will be sure to get it to you.” One week later, no further response has been received.
The Guardsmen are expected to spend their first weekend along the border this week. It is not known exactly when they will head out from their training position at Camp Swift near Austin.

Hahaha! OMG, can things get any more insane?
Hey, the next time you go to war, just leave your guns at home, OK.
Unfrigginbelievable…….
Oh good grief, now what is the point in ordering these guys to leave their personal weapons at home? Stupid is as stupid does.
Yep. It’s so unfrigginbelievable. After all, the point of them being down there is to facilitate the invasion and allow the transfer of the “refugees” into the country “peacefully”. So having the National Guard carrying weapons might “scare” these invaders from crossing and slow down the process, so they can’t have that.
GRR!!!! THIS PISSES ME OFF!! I COULD JUST THROW SOMETHING THREW A WALL!!! IT’S SO BLATANT AND IN YOUR FACE!!! 😡 😡 😡 WHAT IS IT GOING TO F**KING TAKE??!!!
Why are the militia just allowing this? Why is the BP allowing this? Why is anyone allowing this? This is insane! What more do they have to do to get the people to rebel? 😡
This is probably a good idea. Even off duty or stationed oversea’s. The American police have proved a imbarassment to us. And if spoke to even off duty often go of the deep end. Not the kind of people you want to have with guns at all. The only thing that saves many lives is in uniform we can try to avoid such as they are. Of duty and in civilian cloths harder to do. And you never know when one will go mental and then his police freinds will back the likes of what it is.
