I need a re-power asap!

Unless your not driving anymore, you have and are serving brother.... I thank truckers all the time for their service to this Country, because they are hauling all the goods in this Country. What is LE? I know it will come to me right after I post this so forgive.

I don't see how the wringer could be worse than what I think but here is what happened on the base. I got escorted back from gate one to the Badge/ID building. Was than told to shut truck off and roll up window..lol After about 15/20 minutes they asked me to get out and told me to put my hands on the truck, so I did. The Navel officer than searched me, cuffed me and put me in a Local PD squad care, back seat of course. At the time I was being physically searched, the Local LEO asked me if I had a CCW, I than gave her that. After I was put in the car they turned on the AC and opened the window that separates the front from the back seat. The Navel Police officer that put the handcuff's on took his job seriously and I believe he had a problem with me more than anyone else, because he put the cuffs on tight as could be but, I did not complain. After I sat in the car for a while,,,say 30 minutes, they asked me some questions that seemed redundant but, I have been in the Military so, I know how things work,,,each entity had to have their paperwork and so I was asked the same question by different entities many times.. I was probably in cuffs for two hours before they finally let me go. If anyone says that is the wringer well, ok but I felt as if I they were doing their job as they should and I was not being harassed, and I didn't feel they were doing anything I didn't deserve. They searched my truck and let me go,,pretty much in that order.

I see your point on the wasted resource for a LEO to babysit my firearm, but since the local LE have authority over what is in front of the gate to the base, I am sure they could give one direction. That is all I would ask them for really but again, many options have now been brought to the service and maybe I wouldn't call the local pd. And you are absolutely correct on how many think that it is a crime to carry a firearm in the truck.. I have heard about some federal law that says you can't and I actually used to think it was true, until I did my own research. You know, LEO's are people to and maybe 1 in a 100 may not know it is legal to carry in a truck but, I have yet to run into any LEO that didn't know, of course, I don't deal with LE much at all. If I get pulled over by DOT, I don't give information that isn't asked.

 

It may come up on google but,,I didn't see one. Not to mention again, but the soldier at the Badge and ID building told me where one was and that the contractors use it. I think if there was one right across from the gate entrance, I would have been told about that one. You also have to realize that you can't drive a trk/trlr everywhere... The one the soldier told me about was by a Pilot so, I thought I would just walk to it but, I never found it and no one at the Pilot or Wilco had any idea what I was talking about.

 

I am sorry to hear that friend.... I am going to call the Navel Base in a couple months, when summer is going good and everyone is happy...lol I don't like be banned from anywhere, especially a Military Compound.

 

On a much lighter note.. I got to haul my first Military equipment today and I was/am happy about it. I picked up from UTES at Fort Jackson and delivered to Fort Stewart. Locked my firearm up in the safe before I picked up and you know what....I was never even asked if I had ANYTHING in my truck! Granted, Fort Jackson and Fort Stewart are pretty much nothing but training bases,,,no nuke's there..lol But, I was nervous a bit going to both.

 

I know what LE stands for...you got to read higher to find out why I asked that question.
