Fella's;
As all of us should know, a legal concealed firearm owner cannot take his firearm into or onto U.S. Government property, with very few exceptions. This is frequently state law also, usually worded as; buildings in which government business is conducted, or something similar.
These provisions in effect disarm the average citizen traveling to & from military installations, law enforcement agencies, and government offices. At some point, it's inevitable I should think that a legal carry citizen is going to either lose their life, or be severely injured, in such travel because they are not able to carry & perform requested duties or actions in a government installation.
At that point, I would hope that the citizen's survivors would sue the government for anything they can get, and the more the better. Since it's overtly evident that an environmentalist group can sue the government over dead timber, owl poop, and other fringe concerns I should think a surviving family could sue over loss of life.
So, if instead, a military base offered to hold your firearm, or other restricted object, in secure storage, would you take advantage of the service while temporarily on base? I'd think the provision would have to be in force that the service is storage only & no inspection or handling by the holder is allowed. Serial number taken? Yes/no? Photograph? What say you?
I lived in a city that had a major military base adjacent to it. During the course of my employment, I was called out to that base many times & always resented the fact that I was forced to travel to & from the installation without my firearm.
