The rules for carrying weapons on an Army post are standard throughout all bases, service officials said. The only personnel allowed to openly display weapons on the base are military police, said Lt. Col. Nathan Banks, an Army spokesman.
Service weapons are checked daily and are usually only allowed to be removed from an arms room for training on a range or maintenance. Personal weapons must be kept locked and registered with the base provost marshal. The military police keep a record of all of the weapons on a base, Army officials said.

Anyone else find it ironic that one of the only places in the US that you can't carry a weapon is on a military base, a place where it is likely that nearly everyone around is properly trained on safe use and handling.
I wonder why guns are banned... by most of the reasoning on here, bases must be some of the most dangerous places in the country since only the police have them.
