Concealed Carry On Base

[HerkyBird]

Guys...I'm trying to drum up support for an issue that is very near and dear to my heart. In the past 20 years, over 100 military members, veterans, and dependents have been killed or wounded in on-base mass shootings. There is no doubt in my mind that had the victims at Fairchild AFB, Ft Hood, and The Washington Navy Yard been able to exercise the Constitutional right they fought to protect, that number would be drastically lower. Unfortunately, current DoD policy prevents us from being able to adequately protect our families on base. As military members, we gladly sacrifice many things to defend our nation, but we should not be asked to sacrifice the safety of our families. I have written my Senate representation (Jim Inhofe) asking him to press for legislation allowing us to exercise our 2A rights on base. I implore you to do the same.

I'll do it but it sure didn't help when "one of your own" got up there and said your current policy was great. No, the military would never sell us out, heck one of your own just sold you all out. Amazing what people will do for their job, anything.

We are a microcosm of our larger society. We have a number of the same idiots that you find outside of the military. Liberals, crooks, and careerists all exist in the military. There are good people too. People who take our oath seriously and will be standing on the right side of the line should the time come. I pray it never does, but you have to keep the faith.

We have the faith brother and most of will be standing there too..I still take my service seriously enough. and it was many moons ago, that i was taking that same oath...Todays standards have fallen a lot, I Do dearly hope the current mess will clear up after the Election? I noticed you were Polite and Omited the fact that one of the FT Hood events was created by a Converted Muslem in our uniform..Obviously it was to Infiltrate from inside..One of the Hidden threats to freedom.

How very true, we should all be able to carry in any place we choose. Anyone being told they cannot carry is being discriminated against

Tennessee finally stepped up and said if you had a permit, You could carry it in your car and park on Company property....It took a very long time to pass...Now they want open carry for anyone, permits for concealed carry, which i say NUTZ..

Toolman,,No longer true here in Tenn...We had to remove all the firearm signs at the gates and go with the new red slashed,Banned Pistol and Knife,symbols at all entry doors...Not a real big deal, except we drive thru some very dangerous areas to get to work, some people here have lost windows due to fired shots, while inroute???Over three inch knife is still illegal, except at Airport, all Knifes are banned..

I guess im confused you say im wrong? Than in the same paragraph you say im right?? IF any private property any where in the united states doesn't want you to have a firearm on the said property you cannot. They can ask you to leave Or you will be arrested. Or private business! Not hard to figure out. And most companies have a NO firearm rule. Key WORD is (Private)...

Some have tried to say their vehicle is private property. Which in case is true. But Judges have ruled it is subject to search once it enters private property. So many people here in Indiana park their vehicle on the side street and walk over to their factory. hence it is public property and they may keep their firearm in the vehicle.
