Gentlemen,

I am an 11B currently assigned at Fort Campbell . I live off post, with my firearms(which I don't bring on post for any reason). A very frightening thing happened at work yesterday. I was ordered to fill out a list containing my firearm information. This included make, model, caliber, and serial number of all firearms I currently posses. In addition, I was also required to list registration information, location of all weapons individually, and information regarding any CCW permits I posses. If you are like me, then the people you work with know you have firearms. So I had to list at least some. I tried to talk to my 1sg(who is normally aproachable through proper channels) to find out what this is fo! r, and I was basically told, "I don't give a !&@%, just put your! info on the form." I don't know how high this goes, but I am hearing that this is going on in other units at Fort Campbell as well. It just seems alittle coincidental to me that within 90 days: the most anti-firearm President in history is inaugurated, some of the nastiest anti-firearm laws are put on the table in Washington, and then the Army comes around wanting what amounts to a registration on all firearms, even if they are off post, and doesn't provide any reason or purpose as to why. I fear something really nasty is blowing in the wind here. I have been in almost 8 years, and never have any of my units asked for this information. If any of you out there have any info as to what all this crap is about please chime in. Otherwise consider yourself warned. I h! ave already posted this on every other firearm forum I am a member of to get the word out.

Here it is folks. Time to write your congress critters.

I do remember, if you were active duty (navy) in hawaii way back in 1980 you were supposed to have all personal firearms registered and they were supposed to be stored with the MAA when not being used. though they weren't very strict about it. They brought the dogs thru the barracks one day, and they hit on my room.... COB wasn't happy when he opened my stand up locker and found an AR7 tucked away in a padded breifcase , 2 short barrel shot guns and an AR15 plus a bucket load of ammo. the took everything untill I registered it, then to use anything I had to sign it out and back in with the MAA, plus I had to spend the next month sleeping on the boat.

so is this normal for the Armed service too ask the status of your personal firearms even though they are not on a Government post?
