As many of you know, concealed/open carry is not allowed on Base unless the individual is law enforcement, on-duty.
There are a couple things I know about weapons on-base:
They never be stored in the Dorms.
They may be stored at on-base housing with commander approval.
They may be stored at the armory.
As an E-3, I have no choice but to live in dorm housing.
I will not store them in the armory, for a variety of reasons.
It is my intention to propose a letter to the commander requesting that I be allowed to store the firearms in my car, within a locked container while I am on base. I bought one of those little tethered steel lock boxes. Here is my proposed letter, please feel free to critique it heavily.
Sir,
My name is Airman **********. I have a request regarding the policy regarding firearms storage on Base. I am requesting permission to store a firearm within a locked container within my vehicle. Many individuals such as myself choose to exercise their second amendment rights and carry a weapon off-base. This is a lawful act, and only serves to provide for the safety of the individual. I am in possession of a valid license to carry a concealed weapon, granted by the Las Vegas Metropolitan police department, and have shown competence in weapon safety and understanding of State, county, and city laws and ordinances. The reason I ask this is because as you know I may not at any time store a firearm in my dorm room, or carry such a weapon on my person while I reside on base. I also understand that with your permission, individuals may store firearms on base with approval from their commander.
I only wish to store the weapon under the condition that it remains under lock and key while on base. At no point would the weapon leave the locked container. I feel that this provides and adequate defense against unauthorized use by any individual, and adequate protection against theft.
My motivations for this request are that I may retain a sense of personal security when traversing the city of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Vegas has one of the highest crime rates in America, and it is for that reason that I reserve my right to self-defense.
I respect the Work of our well trained Security personnel and regard the Base as a very safe place. I also have great respect for Metro, but I understand that they cannot be there to protect against every possible threat.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and look forward to your reply.
Very Respectfully,
Airman **************
