Guns on Base

[dirtking]

I am going to spending 6 months in Kansas for work. We are going to be working at Fort Riley. I am going to bring a few guns with me, but I do not believe they allowed on base. Would you leave you weapons in an extended stay motel room? I'm just trying to fiuge out what I should do...

Storage locker???

You should check with the CO down there or whoever you have for a contact and find out what you can do. They may be able to give you some good advice.

Can you store them at your employers for the week and use them on the weekend? Maybe call the extended stay hotel and see what they have for storage. Being Kansas, they might have storage as an option. I think leaving them in the room is a bad idea

P-Wagon, I don't know how it is now but in my days in the military. POWs (privately owned weapons), could be stored at the base armory and checked out for use. True, you can not carry POWs on military bases. I'd call the local MPs there and see what options they could offer. Ask for the NCOIC of base police.

Thanks Paul, I don't have military experience so that is why I suggested the hotel might have better answers.....Definitely call the base and see what they say.

I'll check with the base but I saw on a web site that person weapons were only allowed if you lived on base and then would be stored in the armory. I'm just a civilian working out of town and entering and leaving the base daily. There is nowhere to store them with the employer as our job trailer is on the base and our office is in MN.

i would buy a nice cable lock and lock them to something in the hotel that cant be moved or see if the hotel offers a safe.

i just leave them in the room and dont have the room cleaned that way nobody knows i have them

Ya might even try to see if there is a Rod & Gun Club in the near vicinity or a Trap & Skeet range. Might try contacting the sheriffs office there.
