Up in arms
Senior Airman Johnnie Waste, a 100th Security Forces Squadron armorer, clears an M4 assault rifle before storing it at the armory at RAF Mildenhall, England, Oct. 21, 2008. All military members who own firearms are required to keep them stored at the armory. Additionally they issue and deploy government weapons to military members whose job requires them, also performing routine inspections and basic maintenance. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
