Something to think about!

But it's a military installation, you cannot carry there. As with most bases, though, they should have amnesty and hold it for you until you leave. The problem is, like you said, an interstate carry issue. We need uniformity. However, at the moment that he notified them, he was on federal property and federal laws apply, state police should never have been notified.

 

I know, they should not have

 

Here’s my position: I can’t afford the time lost or a lawyer to fight this kind of battle.

My Dad always told me “Son, pick your battles wisely.”

 

I dont deliver to facilities like that, only the occasional base for civilian construction contractors. They take a quick look inside, and Im through the gate.

At a more secure facility, they might find a safe. Whats in the safe? Well its locked and I dont have a key. At that point they can make a decision to allow the truck to proceed or not.

So many people are ignorant of their rights, yet if they're confronted and stand up for themselves, they're made out to be crazy and confrontational..."just do as your asked/told and you wont have any issues".

 

Absolutely. But in this instance, the driver didn't attempt to fight or challenge anyone. He declared the firearm. At that point they should have held the firearm or told him he wasn't allowed into the base with it in the truck. All would've been well.

But no, police had to get involved and make the situation worse.

 

@MACK E-6 it's been a while since I got mine but all I had to do was go to the sheriff's department and fill out background info and pay a fee. I see signs everywhere now for a class at gun shops so there may be a basic course now.
