Something we don't hear about is how personal firearms are treated on military installations. Generally speaking, our military are some of the most experienced and proficient people in the country when it comes to guns.
It's open to variation based on based commander policy, but every military installation I've worked at, lived on, served on, ect has been the same. No concealed carry. Guns are not allowed to be stored in the barracks under any circumstances. Guns are not allowed to be stored in base housing under any circumstances. Any personal firearms owned by military members living on post (barracks or housing) must be registered and stored with a base armorer. In order to use the firearm you have to arrange ahead of time to check it out and you check it back in when you're done.
We trust a random 18 year old with a gun more than we trust our military servicemembers.
