18 USC 930 doesn't seem to specifically address US Military bases, except to the extent that the buildings could be consideredbronco78 wrote:Little has changed since March 1993 when Newly anointed President Bill Clinton singed in to law, what effective disarmed Military personnel on military bases.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44, section 930 pretty well nails it down.
Before the shooting on Fort Hood, one could bring your on post registered weapon on to post with no extra measures, or fan fair. You of course not carry concealed due to Mr Clinton immoral act in 1993, but you could bring your weapon on post. (all will notice The Traitor Hassan failed to follow those rules and laws... The signs did not stop him, the paper laws did not stop him)
After the shooting, the post commander changed local police for III CORPS, you now had to register your weapon BEFORE it could com on post (vice bringing it on post and going to the MP office and registering it) You must now have your registrations papers with you, and you must declare the weapon to the contract security gate guards when you enter. At which point you will be pulled out of line, subject to a search for weapons you did not declare. And of course we know, criminals, will always follow the rules and laws, so we ARE safer,, with this policy,, The BG's now have to declare there weapon as they enter post to shoot us.
Like TSA, this policy is window dressing, it stops nothing. Random searches are a joke. I have been searched at the gate ("sir open you glove box") while I had a weapons case on the back seat ... and a box of 25 Winchester SXT. (gun was at home in the safe, I had left the case and ammo in the car for a few weeks, after I came home from a flight.. holstered the gun when I got to the parking lot and forgot the case and travel box of ammo in the back seat)
Federal Facilities as defined in the statute. And note that the buildings must be posted in order for you to be convicted. The buildings on bases that I've been to, were not posted. I'm not saying that there's no law or regulation against carrying on military "property" at all, just that it's not 18 USC 930. Military personnel are subject to the UCMJ and could be charged at a court martial for violating a regulation/base commanders' orders, but civilian visitors are not subject to the UCMJ. So I'd like to hear what federal statute a civilian would be charged with for carrying on base.
