Excuse me. I got a little carried away. I meant machine gun.jamisjockey wrote:Call the base. They might honor the permit, or at least let you check your weapon at the front gate so you don't have to leave it off base or in your hotel.
All gun laws fail the logic test.pcgizzmo wrote:I do think it's crazy that military men and women can shoot machine guns, rocket launchers, 50 mm canon's, grenade launchers etc.. but try and have a handgun on base your in trouble. I don't get it. If it was permissible the crazy Dr. at Ft. Hood might not have gotten off so many shots.
PS, where are the "50 mm cannons"? I'd sure love to shoot one of those....
When I lived in housing on base, we were allowed to have guns, but they had to be unloaded at all times. They also had to be registered with the Provost Marshall's office before we could bring them on base. We were not allowed weapons of any kind in the barracks. That was onboard MCAS Yuma, AZ, in the early ninties.AlexKilpatrick wrote:I'm not sure if this is still true, but when I lived on a military base I was not able to keep a weapon in my home either. I had to check it in to the security police for the entire time I lived there. I could check it out to go target shooting, but that is about it.
Kind of ironic, IMHO.
