Fort Stewart: Where Handguns Outsmart the Army’s Arsenal
At Fort Stewart, Sgt. Quornelius Radford reportedly "brought his personal handgun onto base and shot five people" in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat area. Luckily, witnesses "immediately and without hesitation tackled" him, showing teamwork superior to HR policies. The Army admits to baffling confusion on how a personal firearm slipped past base security, but the victims are thankfully in "stable condition." Radford had a prior DUI arrest unknown to his chain of command—apparently background checks are another battlefield. Brig. Gen. Lubas confirmed this wasn't Army-issue weaponry, but personal firepower with military-grade bad timing.

(1 of 3)Fort Stewart’s finest forgot the memo: 'Bring your personal handgun to work day' isn’t a thing. Somehow a DUI cop out couldn’t stop a loaded weapon from sneaking in, proving the Army’s security might need a reboot or a caffeine addict patrol.
Nothing says "team building" like five coworkers getting shot and a sergeant forgetting "personal handgun" isn't a uniform accessory. Fort Stewart’s workplace safety slogan must be: ‘Hope for the best, arm for the rest.’
Fort Stewart’s new motto: 'Our weapons are personal, our drama is military.' When 'How did the gun get in?' is the craziest mystery since who stole the biscuits from the mess hall.
