Shame the SAS don’t read Federal Law. No private weapons on Post.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
Bad news, the Post Commanders hands are just about tied in the matter. Folks living in quarters may be allowed possession - that’s open for discussion.
Civilians on Post with private weapons? Not going to happen, unless they lie to the guards. That carries it’s own downside.
Off topic-were you at the retiree appreciation day at Ft Rich yesterday?
Here is the thing (you idiot) oops, I slipped. Civilians carrying on a military base may not be in our foreseeable future. I haven’t been on a base in a long time, but as a kid, I used to go quite a bit, felt safe. Will it every be again, don’t think so. And if I were in the military, living on base, would I want to be able to protect myself? ABSOLUTELY. The anti-gunners have brainwashed us into believing that NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. That is the issue here. This needs to changed. Even reports that the FBI has been trying to get permission to deploy teams on bases to protect our military. Maybe that will happen now. The bottom line is, anti gunners make us DEFENSELESS VICTIMS. That is what gun free zones are all about, that is what SAS fights against. SAS stands for SECOND AMENDMENT SISTERS and we are not a “pressure” group, we are women’s rights advocates, and thank God for women like Kimberly.
It is a basic, natural, God given right to protect oneself, the Constitution only affirms it. It is something the government doesn't grant us and should never be allowed to take away.
Far to long we have all been complacent and allowed our so called reps and gun rights groups to compromise our rights away. That is why I joined SAS (Second Amendment Sisters, Inc), they are a no comprise group as they all should be.
I have no shame in making it known that those rules applied to bases are unconstitutional and deny those who lay their lives on the line their basic human rights.
The Alaska statistics for rape are twice the national average. No Alaskan woman should go anywhere without being armed, ever!
I guess there's an exception to everything - I carry legitimately when hunting. Of course, I have to call the MP desk or Sportsmen's Center to sign out and back in to hunt; so they know they have an armed civilian on Post.
Come to think of it, I also carry when I come on Post to shoot at the Plinker Range. Civilians can carry for legitimate purposes. It's a shame that self-defense isn't one of those purposes.
