Why not everyone with access then?
It defeats the purpose or intent I believe to restrict this policy solely on Active Duty members? Why not have every Guardsman, Reservist, Retiree, and civilian worker that has access to the post register their weapons? I mean, the reason for the registration is to....well, frankly I don't know what registering them would prevent, but at most it might make someone think about bringing a weapon on post with malicious intent. Point being, if they plan on following through, it should be across the board with anyone who has routine access to the post.
I use to frequent Ft Lee and all the naval stations in the tidewater area of VA and was asked at the gate if i had a weapon, i said i did and showed my permit to carry concealed, and all they did was u-turn me and told me to take it home and come back. I went through another gate.
I also was picked for a random search and they looked right over it. Never asked me if I had one, but did their routine check to see and somehow missed it. Intentionally, I don't know.
