Handgun Shipping
- Thread starter danfoc
- Start date
Are you American military? Please at least make an attempt at correct punctuation and grammar. You had to at least graduate high school if you enlisted.
I don't know of any overseas assignment except Alaska and maybe Hawaii that will allow privately owned handguns. Most won't even allow long guns at all or without substantial pain. Where are you going?

Hahah! You definitely don't have to be a HS graduate to join the military.
Navy does not have 1st sgts.
As for shipping guns overseas, it depends on the laws of the host country.
You do to enlist in the Air Force or Navy.
Army and Marines have relaxed that requirement from time to time because not enough HS graduates felt the need to serve their country.

Find someone that has a .45 instead of a 9mm and ask them.

Sorry, I should have specified. Enlisting in the Army today only requires a GED and a 50 on the ASVAB.

But they taught us "squids" the ranks used by the other services...at least they did when I joined up (1977).
I might not know the difference between a Marine Lance Corporal and a Corporal, and I might not know the diff between a Sergeant and a Master Sergeant, but know the diff between a Corporal and a Sergeant.
Hell, I could probably tell the diff between an Air Force Airman First Class and a Sargeant (although it's likely they'd both be standing in uniform with their hands in their pockets)

Since most foreign countries have SEVERE restrictions against handgun, especially regarding non-citizens, this may be a futile endeavor, but one might get lucky.........

Which is why I said I SHOULD have specified...
Service members shipping out for an overseas assignment receive a briefing that covers a lot, usually including possession of privately owned vehicles and weapons. If it doesn't, the briefing officer or NCO will be able to answer the question.
In general, no matter what anyone tells you what they or someone did in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, or the War of 1812, the U.S. armed forces generally ban privately owned weapons in combat zones and in most overseas areas. There are exceptions in some areas for hunting guns, but not handguns.
I strongly recommend you do NOT try to smuggle a gun into the area or have it shipped to you illegally. That kind of thing can lead to military prison, which, I am told, is no fun at all.

Thanks to all that stayed on the topic I will look in to all options
That were suggested. As for the guys that used my question as an excuse to comment on the intelligence of the united states armed forces ... Well .... I don't think I have to say what you can go shovel.... For those that stood behind the military thank you... And yes I am military I'm first gen Navy. Still not sure why punctuation had anything to do with my question.

Well, for starters ... it would have been a lot easier to read if it had been written in a passing semblance on English.danfoc said:

Proper punctuation, sentence structure, spelling, and capitalization make your post easier to read, and understand. Many people (like me) will not answer (or even read) a post that is hard to understand, or will give you smart alec answers. And, many will assume you aren't serious about your question, since you couldn't take the time to write it so it could be understood.
