So I'm not really sure which way to turn my head for this question anymore. I've heard that it varies from base to base, I've heard that bases are Federal Property, and therefore 100% illegal to have a firearm of any sort on you, even if it's locked in a gun case in your vehicle. Etc..etc..
My wife is military, I'm civilian. Here are the examples:
1) Wife has to go to army reserve center for her monthly weekend time. She leaves the house carrying. She arrives at the gates to the reserve center. NOW WHAT???
2) Wife and I (or either of us by ourself) We/she/I leave the house for vacation and decide to stop at a army base to get a room for the night. We pull up to the gates at a army base. NOW WHAT???
3) Wife and I (or either of us by ourself) leaves the house to travel to a army base out of state for week or more for army duties (or to stay the night). She leaves the house carrying (according to laws of each state she/I may travel in), and now arrives at the gates of a army base in a different state. NOW WHAT???
1)Are the rules the same for both of us, or are there 2 different set of rules for military and civilian???
2)What are the rules regarding carrying (OC, CC or transporting in vehicle) on an army base???
3)Is there a general rule for all military bases, or do they all vary???
4)Are the rules the same whether in uniform or out of uniform (such as if she was there on business, or just passing through while on vacation)???
5)If it turns out that it is illegal to carry on base, then how do you carry from your house to the base, without bringing it onto the base when you get there??? or do you just have to go unarmed on days that you have military duty???
And of course, can you post links or statues to back up what you are saying. I have been hearing so many different opinions on what is or isn't legal regarding this, that I can't make sense of it anymore, and haven't been able to find any concrete information regarding military bases (or I can't remember because it left my head with all the smoke from researching stuff).
Thanks
