Of course...
But seriously, you'd be surprised at the number of small skirmishes that occur in the NAG. Throwing a little weight around here and there is not uncommon for other nations to do in that area.
As stated in the OP, this has happened before.
I knew a senior O-4 who was grounded when he had several incidents of unexplained LOC.
Once he was on the back of an F-14D manning up when he greyed out and fell onto the turtleback. He was alone when that happened. He immediately spoke up about it and his flying days were done. He was a TPS...
Most SNFOs and SNAa would probably refrain from doing something that get them NPQ'd...getting knocked unconcious, even for a few seconds will get you grounded.
During DS/DS, I kept my Glock 19 and ammo hidden in my u-trou drawer in my stateroom until we got to the AOR. Then we brought them to the RR to fly with them.
We got to fly with our own weapons until the ship's armorers saw we all had Black Talon and hollow point ammo when we were forced to...

Yup, terrorist threat of I've ever seen one...(ignore the city of Boston on the side of it).
Start them off right when they are young.
So when some kid says "Hey want to see my Dad's guns?"
My boy will say, "No, it's not a big deal, I shoot all the time with my Dad."
Easy out: Brief What You Fly, Fly What You Brief.
Do that and you'll always stay out of trouble. The crew above should have called it and RTB'd based on what you've said.
In 2000, NAS North Island would let you register your gun with base security and you could shoot it at the base range. When a RO was present.
That may have changed.
CCW on a federal base is just asking for a quick career. Some folks that live in on base housing at certain bases may be able...
Using a digital camera to do detailed before and after photographs with date/time stamps can be invaluable in getting all of your deposit back.
If you go in to argue your case with a property manager and have your ducks in a row and photographic proof you left the place in same or better...
