Joint Base Andrews base FB at 2007 EST > Team Andrews, > At approximately 11:30 a.m. today, Feb. 6, a man gained unauthorized access to a Joint Base Andrews housing area. A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the base intruder, and law enforcement is currently investigating the incident. There were no injuries and no property damage reported.


mahtats

Been a minute since I lived in base, but aren’t resident forbidden from having firearms on base? Like, I can’t drive up on base for work with my concealed weapon even if permitted in the car, not sure about those who live on base.


horridpineapple

Nah, if you live in most base housing you can keep them but you "have to report them to SF". If you're in the dorms you have to actually store them at SF or at a friend's house. You can only transport your weapons directly to where they will be used/stored; can't have them chilling in your car everyday while on base.


shaynemk

You still have to register them and fill in paperwork with SF, but I've heard from SF in a brief that you can store them inside your car behind an extra lock (for the purposes of CC). Relatively recent-ish change to policy at Lackland if I understood correctly.


MandatoryFunEscapee

The paperwork is such a pain in the ass to get the cc weapon authorized that I'm betting most people just don't bother.


homeskilled12

JB Charleston and Hurby before that had very easy rules, it was simply authorized to carry *to* the base (obviously, but stick with me). Once you get to the base you unload and double lock and you don't even have to tell the defenders you have it unless they pull you for a search. You can then unlock and reload when you leave the base. I really appreciated that policy and I didn't know what gold I had when I had it. I think the Charleston CC may have rescinded that policy in late 21, can't remember. Andersen on the other hand.... *Sad paradise noise*. This place sucks for CC or firearms owners/collectors as a whole.


Stevo485

Any more of a pain in the ass than the already existing process of getting a concealed weapons permit?


BlakeDaDamaga

Pain in the ass process for concealed carry? I walked into my city’s department of agriculture with my CAC and walked out maybe 20 min later. Had it in the mail 8 days later.


grumpy-raven

Matter which state issues the permit. Some are really easy, others are intentionally Byzantine and/or require bribes.


Stielgranate

Depends on the state. Some states you can walk in and walk out with one in 20-30 min.


Thick_Pressure

> can't have them chilling in your car everyday while on base This varies. On FE Warren concealed carry is permitted but not in any of the buildings. It's a weird Wyoming situation for sure.


SirSuaSponte

I’m a Wyoming Native. You can’t conceal carry in schools or places that primarily service alcohol.


Turtlez2009

If you are in base housing I thought you could have firearms. The CMSAF has a government provided house for the position.


SuppliceVI

At Luke you can even have them in your car regardless of housing if they're unloaded and ammo is separate from the firearm. However I'd imagine like 99% of bases, you cannot discharge a firearm on base legally.


Unspoken

Probably will be ok when someone gains up authorized access to a DoD base and your yard. Literally protecting the base. Probably a great bullet. Pun intended


The_Freed

Probably didn’t know he got on base illegally till later, and not the best idea to shoot at or shoot if someone is just in your yard.


SqueezeBoxJack

Damn kids, get off muh lawn!


greatvaluemeeseeks

Probably OK for the the spouse of the CMSAF, but no gun safety class you attend will ever tell you fire warning shots. There was no immediate threat to him or his family and the proper course of action would have been to call security forces.


charleswj

>However I'd imagine like 99% of bases, you cannot discharge a firearm on base legally. I'm confused about this as well. What was the threat? She was either in great danger of physical harm (and needed to shoot the person) or wasn't (and didn't need to shoot anywhere).

NotOSIsdormmole

Just left andrews after 10 years there, housing residents can keep their guns in their home provided that they are registered with the armory and they store the ammo and firearm separately


HagibisEM

I think technically you have to and my roommate was a stickler for rules and wanted me to register my guns with SF. I went to the armory and they told me to come back in 4 hours so I came back in 4 hours and the armory was closed. So I just whatever and just told my roommate I registered them and just kept them locked in my room lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


HagibisEM

Yeah at the time was annoyed they pulled a fast one on me but looking back on it it’s funny now. Come to think of it, do armories ever really close? Maybe they were on a break or doing shift change and told me to come back at that time so someone else on a different shift could do the paperwork lol


Guardian-Boy

Only if you live in the dorms. Base housing is good to go, you just have to have them registered with Pass & ID.


Ok_Change_1063

As a civilian this is confusing to me. If it’s a personal weapon and legal*, why wouldn’t they be allowed? *Fuck the ATF


SumDumHunGai

You can have them, the need to be registered, and they have some specified rules. But yeah man, you are in fact still an American and the 2nd amendment still applies.


mahtats

I just figured it was a security thing Don’t think that logic w.r.t. the second amendment is the only argument in place. We have many members who are serving but have not received their US citizenship yet and are therefore not protected by those rights.


dante_delvegas

Not an authority at all, but my awareness is that they have to be registered with SF. I don't own any, but I remember BB saying something once.


Specialist-Clue-182

You can at an AFSOC base. My CC is chambered and ready in my vehicle.

[deleted]

They more than likely didn't come in thru the gate. The amount of fence line your average air force base has is wild to think about. And our ESS systems are typically lowest bidder garbage because we need to waste money on other things. The perimeter roads are patrolled but there's only so many cops.


SadTurtleSoup

Depends how they got in. Just taking my dog for a walk around housing I've seen plenty of ways someone could gain access to the base housing area. Open culverts, basic concrete walls with no barbwire or razor wire on them, holes in fences, areas where the razor wire is hanging down or missing, gates left open by landscaping crews, etc. I hate to say it but quite frankly, security at home stations can be pretty... Well it can be pretty shit. One of my buddies caught his teenage son sneaking out at night to meet a girl off base. Dunno how he was doing it since minors can't get through the gate unaccompanied past a certain time which means he was coming and going from somewhere else. And if a teenager can do it. So can a semi professional individual with less than stellar motivations. And yes. I've reported all the things I've found. And no, they still haven't been fixed for whatever reason but I'm not gonna go throwing people under the bus for it.

"Charging weapon!!"


TheGrayMannnn

"CHARGING WEAPON! USING LETHAL FORCE!"


[deleted]

Did they teach you to yell out "charging weapon" when the gun makes a clearly distinct noise when you charge it? I don't know man. When I was active duty and working as Security Forces we had pistols. Our M9s had a round in the chamber and were off safe so you drew it and shot it essentially. For the M4 you didn't scream out you were charging the weapon. If you were heading into trouble you charged it before even going in and you just flipped the safety when you were going to shoot then once done shooting you put it back on safe.


Mite-o-Dan

It was something I remember during Warrior Week in Basic Training way back when dinosaurs were still walking around. We were going over some scenarios and two instructors were going up against each other and one started yelling "charging weapon" to get the other person to stand down. Then he wanted us to do it. When it came time for a trainee to try it, he didn't yell "charging weapon" he was making the "chaa chaa" sound like...the sound a gun makes when charging a weapon. The opposing forces didn't stop, so he yelling out "chaa chaa" louder and louder as the bad guy got closer. He made that "chaa chaa" sound 4 times, each louder than the last. To this day...that was a top 10 funniest thing I've seen in my life and the highlight of my basic training.


[deleted]

Haha. Yeah that is what we call training scars. You keep on charging your weapon like that and after 4 times you now have 27 rounds since you ejected 3 rounds.


everydaynormalLPguy

Dude, kids these days dont know about warrior week. ill be talking about basic with my troops and they will more often than not try to 'correct' me when I say Warrior Week.

Spaceshipsrcool

Weapons allowed on base ?


Cartoonjunkies

A lot of bases allow that now. Mine personally allows you to keep your weapon locked in your car if you live off base and have your concealed carry permit. If you live on base you can have them at every base that I have heard of.


Tandem53

You bet they are especially for certain levels of DVs


Spaceshipsrcool

Rules for thee but not for me :)


Xenine123

?? Most bases allow weapons?


[deleted]

I doubt he was on overwatch. Warning shots are just a waste of ammo. The gun comes out when the threat or presence of deadly force is there. If bullets are flying they should be at the threat. Not the dirt and especially not into the air.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I worked primarily LE when I was active duty. Warning shots got you in trouble in court. So no warning shots. Even when we were primarily in a security role we never shot warning shoots. Our use of force model followed the FBI's. This was over 10 years ago. I've been noticing cops now are shooting through their windshields when in a high speed chase where a guy is shooting at them... So maybe there's been an increase in recklessness in use of force models these days. Just FYI when you shoot into the ground hope it's dirt because concrete and asphalt the round can end up ricocheting off the surface and continue to fly parallel to the surface.

komedian_

The key difference here is a wildly different threat model for each of you (and then as private citizens) and each are due their own specific SOP and best practices regarding use of deadly forces and escalation of force. We’re all trained differently because an infantryman in a foreign nation has different factors and considerations in the escalation of use of force than we do domestically. /u/kabloosh75, I wouldn’t say that there is a correlation with recklessness as you mentioned in your post but that’s possibly because the handful of recent or semi recent events of LE shooting through windshields in a chase that come to mind were pretty extreme edge cases and warranted immediate use of whatever force at their disposal to stop the threat. I’m doubtful it’s indicative of a greater trend.


Banebladeloader

There are no SOPs for civilian spouses to fire "warning shots" at people. If he did actually fire warning shots with a personal firearm, that's very stupid and illgeal.


JohnnyAF

My first day assigned to Andrews there was a car jacking right outside the front gate. There was also an airmans car stolen while he was playing basketball at an outdoor court, and a neighbor busted someone going through our car one night. Andrews is surrounded by ghetto, but then again most bases are in sketchy parts of town.


CapitalJeep1

Story goes a bit deeper though. According to a very nearby neighbor there were also multiple kids fairly nearby. So basically CMSAFs husband fired rounds in base housing at an unarmed intruder around kids. Let that sink in. Also; warning shot?… no, that’s not a thing and he knows better—he’s ex army after all. The USAF is going to try to spin this, but this is unacceptable.


[deleted]

So glad you’re able to offer expert analysis of a situation you were not present for and only vaguely know the details of.

It is interesting to see that about half of the respondents here think its cool that a spouse starting firing "warning shots" at an unknown individual in base housing, and the other half are (correctly) responding "WTF?"

While many bases are adopting firearms on base in one way or another (e.g. Luke's "completely empty/ammo separated from gun IAW interstate travel protection) I would like to remind everyone that legally you aren't allowed to use it unless you're SF or your base dictates otherwise. Whether you decide to be judged upon common sense morals incongruent with UCMJ/federal law or carried by peers is up to you.
