Welcome to the military. First off, if you are not living on base, you cannot bring any dangerous weapons to include firearms on base. Keep the firearm at your house and conceal carry each and every time you leave your house except if you are going to base or if you are in uniform. As long as you live off base (or post as you will come to call it) you do not even need to let anybody know you have a CHL or a firearm.lalumpala wrote:I've just joined the Army and head off to BCT in January. My wife and I will not be living on base once I get my first station. I'm not sure how this works, but let's say I check my gun in at the armory. When I leave base, I go check it out, right? Unable to technically concealed carry until off base, right? I've been told that it is illegal to carry in uniform unless your on duty job requires it. Would you normally change into civilian clothes before leaving base so as not to violate this? Sorry, I'm new to all this and still getting my bearings. Thanks.

Re: Living on a Military Base
Yeah they changed the rules for keeping Privately owned firearms on base. You have to drive straight from house to gate and vise versa. but you can keep them at the casa as long as you have registered them at the armory and you keep them Unloaded (<--- yea right) and locked up always. Mine do stay locked up most of the time. but they are always loaded.
As for the gate, I found an easy way to take care of that problem. Sorry I cannot share, it involves exercising my 2nd amendment right against the wishes of big bother.

Living on a Military Base
How do other people handle this? To drive on and off base with a gun you have to have it completely unloaded and in the trunk with the ammo in the glove box.
How do I then get it to the small of my back with out other people seeing? I am going to have to stop in a parking lot to bring the gun to the passenger compartment and then load it and conceal it while sitting in my vehicle. PITA
And yes this is the last time I will ever live in base houseing.
