In an after action for ROTO 0, we raised the fact that all drivers should be issued side arms. Yes you could argue that a driver should be hands on the wheel but if anyone has spent anytime in downtown Kabul, you will agree 95% of your time is spent stuck in traffic at a stand still. Also the lav 3 gunner should have a pistol in the turret, because the CC has the c-6 and as a gunner, your options are the coax/25mm or having your rifle hanging in the side basket where its a pain in the butt.
With the amount of side arms sitting in lock ups around Canada, IMHO they should be sent to where they are needed.
