Arrested for what?My guess would be that if you have it (and they find it).. and you are not going to the range.. you will be detained and possibly arrested.
IANAL/IANAJAG...I can neither confirm nor deny... that if one was to conceal carry as you pass through the gate and you are stopped... all they do is a vehicle search...they do not search the person... unless you have something else illegal in your vehicle and then theycan arrest you there by doing a search of you. Once through the gate though, you can remove and store inside the vehicle while remaining hidden from view. Take the same procedure while exiting for some bases search vehicles departing bases as well.
Yes, the regulation applies to everyone on post. Various sections are applicable to one's particular circumstance.
[align=left]Applies to all persons residing upon, employed by,serving on or visiting Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Violation of any provision of this regulation provides a basis for disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice against those persons to whom it applies. Violation of any provision of this regulation by other persons may provide a basis for administrative and criminal actions, including debarment from Fort Belvoir, termination of employment, revocation of privileges, termination of quarters, referral to State of Virginia juvenile authorities, referral to the United States Attorney, or other appropriate action.[/align]
[align=left]On request of military police, civilian police, orother duly authorized law enforcement officials, promptly present the appropriate documents reflecting authorization for the acquisition, registration, or retention of any privately owned firearms in their possession.

it looks to me like someone visiting post would be okay with an unloaded (disassembled?) weapon locked in the trunk.
If I recall to correctly, when you enter a military installation, the military police/security forces/shore patrol, etc... retain the right to search you or your vehicle at any time without probable cause. Its one of the conditions of obtaining a vehicle/visitor pass to enter the installation.
Every installation will have its own rules or variations thereof. What might be true on Ft Belvior might not be true on Quantico. Your best bet is to call the Visitor's Center/Access Control for the specific base and ask what you need to do. Those folks should have the information readily available at their fingertips.
This could not have occured in Virginia as described because we have no firearms registry.snip........... come to find out it was an unregistered fire arm.
