I'd have thought the one person that doesn't need weapons for the usual reasons (home security, self defence, etc) is a Major who lives on a huge military base.

Actually, you'd be surprised. I don't know about the Major, since I ranged from Private to Sergeant back when I lived at Hood, but there's often not enough room for all those soldiers, and many live off-base. And it is not exactly a safe area. I purchased my first handgun there, after someone tried to break into my apartment.
