Florida governor orders National Guard recruiters to work from armories in
Governor Jindal issued an Executive Order authorizing the Adjutant General of the Louisiana National Guard to identify and arm national guard personnel at military facilities in order to protect those facilities.

Scott also instructed Guard officials in Florida to make sure all full-time members are armed, with weapons provided to anyone who doesn’t now carry one.
Scott is also calling for recommendations on how to improve security at store-front recruitment centers.
Abdulazeez first opened fire at a military recruiting center in a Chattanooga strip mall.
In signing Executive Order No. 15-137, Scott said: “The state will take any every measure available to secure military personnel against the planned attacks of ISIS, including but not limited to securing the work areas and recruiting stations for the Florida National Guard, which the state directs”.
Abott joins governors in Florida and Louisiana in the call to arm Guardsmen after a gunman attacked a recruiting center and a Marine-Navy reserve facility in Chattanooga earlier this week.

Scott, in his Saturday order, said the move to the armories was temporary so state officials could evaluate their next move – which could include installing bullet-proof glass or upgraded surveillance equipment. He took action in response to Thursday’s shootings at military sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
