Fort Custer National Cemetery

Redneck125 · Dec 1, 2014

I have another funeral to go to at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Battle Creek. From previous funerals I know there's a sign that states no weapons on the premises. Now that I have a CPL I was wondering if anyone knew if this still applies to me. Or if its like PFZ where I can only open carry. Anyone have any knowledge on this? Myself and a few of us who are going want to carry in honor of our friend who served in the Navy, had carried for a long time and had always been a 2nd ammendment advocate. So if anyone can shed any light on this it'd be greatly appreciated.

IIRC National Cemeteries are federal GFZ's.

At work so can't dig up a cite but, more generally I think 'Federal Government Property' aside from national parks is all GFZ

Actually many of them did not die "for their country" to for our rights. They passed years or even decades after retiring or otherwise leaving the service they were in. What was the last war that actually was fought for our rights?

My dad is in one of those plots. I know what they are for.

Once you're a soldier, and buried under our flag, that respect is given automatically.

OK, but that is NOT what they died for, My parents are both at Fort Custer as well.

if it's part of the national parks system you can carry there, just not inside any of the buildings

and if it's not clearly marked, then you can't be charged with a crime anyway.

It is very clearly marked.

Fort Custer National Cemetery is part of the VA, and as such it is unlawful to carry onto their property or into their buildings.

See 38 CFR 1.218. Don't take your dog either!
