For those among us who wear the uniform you may feel my pain. You sign your life on the line to support and defend the constitution but in a sad twist of irony we are usually not afforded those same liberties in return.A base in Florida is changing the tides for the better. Here's a snippet of text from the news release, along with a link to the entirety of the release:The new policy will allow Florida concealed carry weapon permit holders, holders of reciprocating state concealed carry licenses and LEOSA credential holders not assigned to Hurlburt Field, to transport a privately-owned firearm in a personal vehicle while driving on and off base with the firearm secure, but it must stay in the vehicle. They must maintain their credentials on them at all times and present them with their valid DOD identification card when requested by Security Forces, AFOSI, local law enforcement or command officials. The firearm must be secured discreetly in order to not cause alarm and must not be left in an unattended vehicle for more than 24 hours.Hurlburt Field implements new Firearms Policy.If your installation does not have a policy friendly to CCW, I'd advise you to be the driving factor for change. Regardless of your rank. Even the lowliest of E-1's has an avenue to have your voice heard. Present the situation with respect and facts, including sources from other bases and maybe you can be the reason folks rights are restored!I'm still trying to get my hands on the actual policy letter if anyone here is from Hurlburt and can lend a hand please PM me! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/28rski0
