This is my first attempt at starting a discussion thread, but this seems like the place to do it. I am an Air Force reservist who wants to be able to run by one of my local military installations if I'm in the neighborhood or need to do some business, but I can't, because I'm a CHL holder who carries as a matter of course. If I go on base with my weapon, either I have to go to the armory and check it in or run the risk of a federal conviction and jail. Me bein' a JAG, I can't afford that.
My question for the board is this: what's the best argument for changing the DoD Regulations to permit licensed handgun carriers to carry on a military installation? I'm hoping to be able to do a law review or Armed Forces Journal article to stir the debate, but I need some ammo (you'll pardon the pun) to get me started.
