Was there for a shooting match last month. Just keep it unloaded and locked up in the trunk of the car while on post and you will be fine.

The funny thing about going through the gate at Army posts is that they never check you. Just your vehicle.

Going to be there over the weekend for a graduation. Want to bring a handgun for the road in the car. Can I drive onto the base with it? I wouldn't. You for sure can't carry on post. Just leave it in your hotel. |

I've done it traveling through there as there wasn't an easy way to avoid it and never had a problem. Figured forgiveness > permission. If I were staying somewhere nearby I'd leave the gun there. |

JBLM said no so I'm sure FtBenning is same. In fact, you can't even have a radar detector on your dash in JBLM. They make me take it down and into the glove box.

Go on Fort Benning's web site and see what the Post regulation is. You can find the new MCoE Regulation 190-11 under Regulation and Enforcement section by going to www.benning.army.mil/garrison/DPW/EMD/wildlife.htm or www.benningmwr.com/odr-huntingandfishing.php . Requlation says: a. The introduction or carrying of privately owned weapons, ex-plosives and ammunition on Fort Benning is prohibited unless specifically authorized as outlined in this regulation. b. Privately owned firearms will only be brought onto the installation by persons living on the installation or for the purpose of engaging in authorized activities such as hunting, dog training, and use of recreational range or marksmanship events. |

ETA: Just for clarification, you need to be on you way to, or coming from the range. Leaving it there for extended periods of time is a no-no. |

I have driven on base at benning with a handgun and a semi-rifle along with a full ammo-can of ammo.
I had a pass and an on base hunting permit. I kept both weapons locked in the trunk when I wasn't actually looking for the little piggies. Don't forget, traffic rules are more strict on base. Pedestrians always have the right of way, STOP for them. Don;t speed, obey traffic signs and lights. I signed in and got a vehicle pass near the main gate, nothing was said at all about firearms, but I wasn't OC or CCW except while hunting. |

STORY TIME (this happened before the shooting at Ft Benning)
A couple of years back I wanted to go to the Army museum. I have a WA State CCW and attempted to get onto Ft Lewis in WA. I drove up to the gate guard and informed him that I was carrying and that had a WA State CCW. I was denied entry. I said I was OK with locking up the firearm with their base police or whatever. Still no go. I never went back. Of course policy may differ. Good luck. Aloha, Mark |

I've carried on bases but, not the one you are going to. Seems like each one has their own set of rules and the base commander sets the tone. I carry on my wifes base all the time. I just go to the security forces office and check it in and pick it up when I leave the base. When in doubt, contact security forces for the rules. I sure wouldn't leave it in my hotel. I've had all sorts of stuff stolen from them over the years even 5 star rated ones.

As others have noted, you can only carry a firearm onto Ft. Benning for legal hunting, competitions, and using the range. Technically, you aren't supposed to leave it locked in your vehicle while doing anything else on post and are only supposed to go to and from the activity involving the firearms with no intermediate stops. They DO randomly search vehicles entering the base, although I've never been searched (the one time they approached with dogs, we had our dog with us, so they skipped us and just did a quick visual to make sure I wasn't trying to bring a large bomb on base, I was there for one of the Ranger events, possibly my brother's Ranger School graduation).

Rule of Thumb:
Do not carry onto post. Its bad Juju. If you get caught with an unregistered weapon in your vehicle, you are going to have some problems. and now for education on Rule of Thumb:
