To bring any privately owned firearm on a DoD facilty requires that it first be registered with the installation PMO.
You are supposed to register the weapons without bringing them on the installation.
The PMO will give you registration cards to carry when you are bringing the registered weapons on post.
You might get away with the "I didn't know any better" story if 1) the weapons were unloaded and stored in the trunk separate from the ammo, and 2) you were transiting the base en route to somewhere else. I don't think MacDill will work for the second condition.

For all those that take POWs on Army installations hold your breath for a massive change. Major changes are coming to AR 190-11
The PMO is NOT ALLOWED to keep your records on your firearms! Federal Law pertaining to retaining records of firearms and the owners. Something about the FEDs ares forbidden, by law, from compiling a database on guns/owners. A few years back Congress learned that ATF was compiling the information in a database from the old 4473's. Congress ordered the files to be deleted and slapped ATF on the wrist.
But the Installation/Post Commander is allowed to have you register POW that you bring on post...so there is the rub!!!! Register it but don't keep the record!
In the new regs...you may have to register your POW every time you plan to bring you gun to post! So how the hell do you do that????
