You are correct. This is the official Air Force stance on weapons being brought on to any Air Force installation for the purpose of work. If you are visiting family that stays in base housing, you will be able to take it there and the military member can store it at their home until you are ready to leave the installation but you can't run around base with it at all. You would be allowed to go straight to the military members residence and from that residence straight to the gate when you are leaving, no exceptions. If you call and get information to the contrary, you are getting bad information. They may let you take it to the Armory and fill out the 1314 but that's a bigger pain in the neck than it sounds. I would definitely call first to get the information first hand but don't be surprised that you are emphatically told "no guns". After 20 years doing the job at many different bases, this policy has never changed.AFJailor wrote:I dont know of any Air Force installation that allows you to bring a weapon on base, unless you are stationed there, or using it for some kind of base competition ETC. They will either tell you that you can fill out an AF form 1314 and leave it in the security forces armory or tell you to not bring it at all. Also, if you have to get vouched on base by someone else the chances of being able to store it in the armory are unlikely.
Again, call to get the information first hand.
