Rejected petition Soldiers (All Ranks) To Open-Carry Firearms

More details

If we can train and trust police with firearms we can of course trust trained soldiers with them also.

The above is particularily important for soldiers serving in London, especially those who travel via public transport to and from a unit (Reserves).

It is a national discrace that soldiers cannot wear their uniform in public in the capital of this great nation,and that they are not issued with a sidearm for self protection.
