Most likely military bases are off limit. That is even more so after Fort Hood incident.
You are right.... They are subject to regulation by the base commander as authorized by law (Title 10), and every one that I have ever heard of has prohibited carry. I was referring to federal "civilian" property.

I would be interested to hear what happens to a civilian when criminally prosecuted for carrying contrary to military regulation. I'm sure it is possible, but sometimes the feds are more lenient than the state. I remember in the 1990's that the feds gave states jurisdiction to prosecute DUI under state law even when it happened on base.
