Re: mil. base

I do not claim to know all the laws on military posts, which is why I didn't make a blanket statement about what the regulations are.

I haven't written anything "about people on this sight (sic)", nor about what they know or don't know. I pointed out your statement was incorrect.

This is not a personal insult; don't make it into one. We've all been wrong, and I myself have been corrected on this forum and others.

Re: what to do

You shouldn't make such a blanket statement, because it's not true.

It might be true for most bases, but not all. Every military base commander sets his own rules, and some allow firearms.

If all else fails, I have friends in the area, including one who is a DoD civilian employee at LRAFB, who might be able to arrange storage for you. Check with base security first, and if you get an "absolutely no way!" answer, then contact me and I'll see if I can arrange something.

All military bases have their own rules about firearms, and they vary greatly. LRAFB is a "closed" base, meaning you must go through security to get on base, even if you're just visiting the staff housing area.

The LRAFB web site doesn't offer any clues about firearms, but the USAF tends to be more hopolophobic than the other services. Your best bet is to call the security forces at (501) 987-3221. Don't expect an answer to your question at that number; but, they may be able to direct you to the "Law Enforcement Center", or "Provost Marshal", or whatever the AF equivalent is.

If nothing else, you can always drop your gun(s) off at a nearby gun shop for "cleaning" while you're on base. With a wink, they'll "clean" it for five bucks or so.
