Weapons Transportation
Privately-owned firearms will be transported in vehicles only while traveling in a direct route to-and-from hunting areas, dog training areas, target ranges, or other locations authorized by the installation senior commander. No stops are authorized.
The carrying of a loaded firearm in a vehicle is prohibited.
Privately-owned firearms carried in a vehicle will be secured in the trunk. For vehicles without a trunk, firearms will be encased in a container other than the glove compartment and carried in such a manner that they will not be readily available to the driver or passengers. Commercially-available trigger locks and other security devices are strongly recommended to deter and prevent loss and theft.
If requested by installation law enforcement personnel, individuals will present the registration document when the firearm is out of an approved storage location and being transported on the installation.
