DC National Guard members actively training to carry pistols in capital mission
The title and the following are from the jorno's Bluesky post.
The M-17 is the military variant of the Sig Sauer P320 semi-automatic pistol, a controversial firearm that has been banned by multiple law enforcement agencies (including ICE) for reportedly firing without a trigger pull.
