"By the way, have you checked on the "decomissioned" military bases in your area? Drive out to the one nearest you sometime. I know there are armed guards at the ones around here."

Not all of them have armed guards ... the ones that don't, they are turning these bases into big box stores, industrial parks or in the case of Presidio they are selling off the officers homes as expensive condos, buildings into art centres and such ... the decommisioned bases that do have armed guards is because they have enough stockpiled ordnance to blow up a city the size of Cleveland ... you certainly don't want the neighbourhood kids or crack addicts getting into those joints.
