Nipping it
I’ve seen the claim that the Fort Hood shooter is permitted to carry a privately purchased gun on base a few places, most recently here. That claim is completely false.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Hope you’ll listen to my interview of Dennis Henigan here:

I think he has undoubtedly set a new Guinness World Indoor Record for saying the most idiotic, unConstitutional things on a one-hour radio show, mine. In fact, I think he has retired the title. Comments welcome.

Sorry folks, but you all have it wrong. The news has it wrong for mentioning carrying the weapon, i.e. loaded on his person, but you all have it wrong in terms of the regulation. FH 190-11 was updated in June to add language that says someone can bring an unloaded, locked in case firearm out of reach of the driver, onto post if it is declared. The change in June added a line very similar to the “for all other legal purposes”
If the phantomclerk website were working right, you could find FH 190-11 on that link off hood.army.mil I have a copy of the regulation at the office, and have talked to soldiers who have brought weapons on post using the new regulations. It must be unloaded, ammo separate from firearm, and locked somewhere the driver can’t get to it (trunk, lockbox if no trunk), and it must be declared at all control points.
