Unfortunately, I will leave my weapon at home. If there is an issue of my weapon at the front gate and I am wrongfully detained, it doesn't matter to the law officer on the spot. His or her error could result in my having to "explain it to the judge", not to mention a blown spring break trip for the family.

I just talked to White Sands personel and thet said that I would have to disassemble my pistol and declare it at the front gate. At that time, local law enforcement would come in and decide what to do.

One more question, does a lockable leather briefcase constitute a lock box? Would a briefcase be suitable for pistol storage in a federal park?

Thanks Jim. I will get a lock box for the pistol and keep the magazines outside of the lock box. Thanks.

Next week, I plan to drive my family through New Mexico for five days and one of our stops is White Sands National Park. What do I do with my pistol, as a CHL person, while in the park? Do I declare my firearm at the front gate? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
