I will be traveling to Ft. Bragg, and I always carry a gun.  Obviously, Ft. Bragg has it's own set of rules.  I will be traveling a long distance, and will not travel without a gun (handgun).  Therefore, when I arrive I will have a gun.  I will need to stow/declare/dispose of it - whatever is most intelligent based on protocol and rules.  Any help will be appreciated.

Call the Provost Marshall and ask them the question.  If you are allowed to shoot at the McKellars Lodge range on post, that might be reason to let you on.  Otherwise, they sell guns at the BX Sports Store there so people are allowed to have guns, but just people authorized to shop at BX in that case.

Yep, call them, if they say absolutely not, start calling gun/pawn shops, in Fayetteville there are many, surely someone will keep it secure for you.

You supply the ammo, and I will store it and keep it warm for you!  

If staying in local hotel, leave in safe at hotel.  Other option is register it with the provost marshall on post and then transport to MacKellers lodge for daily range use, but NO carrying (CC or OC) allowed on federal property.

Fort Bragg Regulation 190-11-1.





Chapter 5 is at the top of page 11.



Also notice 3-2c- if a private firearm is discovered in an unattended vehicle it 'may' be confiscated.



Also 7-1g - you can carry in transit across Fort Bragg as long as you don't go through a gate (access control point).

I was in the Bragg area a few years ago for my sons drill team meet. The wife and I were staying at the hotel with the team. Got up early and needed some coffee and the closest Starbucks was on base. I didn't even think about it, it didn't even cross my mind until I pulled up to the gate. There was a wave of "Oh CRAP!!!!" as I pulled up. the guard asked me what I was doing, where I was going, and asked me to step out of the truck. I thought for sure I was going to jail as I had my Glock on me. The guard searched the glove box, under the seats the bed of the truck, and they even brought out the mirrors to check the underside of the truck, but they never searched me or the center console where my pistol was stored. I boogied over to the Starbucks which was closed and then hurried my ass off the base.


I have also carried on base at Qauntico in Va. by accident once before. I will be headed up to Qauntico again next month for the USMC Sgt. Maj. picnic, but I don't think I will push my luck a third time.
