Are there any guns allowed on Military bases?

This one guy wouldn’t have got this far at my house.

Has the DNC WH and congress melted all the guns?

How does this contention that this was a “gun-free zone” square with the statement that some of the casualties could have been caused by “friendly fire”?

Not enough is known about this incident yet to make cheap points about gun ownership or terrorism. We still dont know the motive - he might have just been depressive.

Nope. If you are active duty military and have a concealed carry permit valid in the state in which you are based, you still CANNOT carry that weapon onto the military establishment. If you do, you will be in heap-big trouble.

You can have it with you ONLY if you "have a good reason," such as going directly to, or coming directly home from a range. And then it must be locked in your trunk, in a locked case, with your ammo in a separate area.

And if you get stopped during a random check at one of the gates while legally en route to the range (as described above), it will at least be noted in their log that you are transporting a weapon. At most, you may be detained and questioned.

Yes, it's a cumbersome process, and you need to determine at the start of the day if you're going to be going onto a military base at any time that day before you decide to carry concealed. If you need to go onto a base, you won't be carrying.

Even more planning is required if you live in northern Virginia. You can't cross into either Maryland, or DC if you're carrying.

FReegards!
