The National Guard's "armory" is about 2 miles from the Capitol. "Armory" is largely and anachronistic term deriving from the post-Civil War. Today National Guard armories are used mostly to house and train the guardsmen when they're on duty, and at other times as a venue for local events. However, most armories are equip with a small armory directly across from the shooting range to store the weapons the guardsmen train with.
Does anyone know if the National Guard's armory in DC actually contains weapons, and if so how much? I'm thinking of the thousands of people who don't come armed and how we can arm them if necessary.
Also, OP is clearly misinformed. Active duty won't know what's happening with the National Guard as they're all reservist. Also we would hear if they were called up.
