Sneaky Concealed Carry

I suggest:

1. Leave handgun home on the days you go there, 'cause if it's that high security its logical to assume there will be a "reduced" risk of anything happening to you, and,

2. See if there are lock boxes available for you, and if not then suggest them.

If one absolutely must carry where one should not, the best way is in the normal manner. Then, at least, one has the "I forgot" defense. James Bond tricks with fake hats or planners would show a deliberate attempt to evade security and would bring certain prosecution and severe penalties. Not to mention loss of clearance and loss of your guns. It ain't worth it.

Hey, do you get to ride in a bus after going through the security building? If it's not the same place, I worked in one just like it about 10 years ago.

Something to think about, that I always kept in the back of my mind while working there. Those 18 to 20 year old "guards" have/give no lee-way in their enforcement of their orders. I saw them hold a full bird colonel against the wall because his new badge (everyone was being issued new badges) wasn't correct. And as I pointed out to one of my gun-ignorant co-workers when he was a little un-happy being detained in a hallway for a badge check - "them guns they got can shoot 30 software engineers a second (M-16)".

Just scout a safe way to and from this place, and minimize trips on the way home after work on the day(s) you have to go there. Don't take the risk of carrying there, either in your car or on your person. If you do get ready to say hi to Tim or John (McVeigh or Gotti) that is!!

Sharps,

With respect and not to pick nits, but I believe your post said "after the arrest/containment of a non-military violator, they are turned over to local law enforcement". The reason I commented is "local law enforcement" suggets city, county, or state -- but not Federal -- to me.

Best regards.

There seems to be a belief that security policies are the same or similar at all Federal installations. Not so. Each installation has its own policy based on guidelines for the type of facility it is. For example, a prison needs to keep certain people in and weapons out. An arms depot needs to keep weapons in and most people out. A communications facility may want to keep data storage devices in and transmitters out. Different strokes for different folks.

JohnDog...it's probably the same bus you rode on, too! Did you know that they're building houses right next to the road now? It'll be a museum in 15 years or less.
 
Frontsight!,

Hey - when I worked there the bus stopped running at midnight. And when you were on second shift, getting off at 1 or 2 am - it was a damn long walk!

Yeah - I've been up in those neighborhoods, you can look almost straight across at the place. At least they are going to keep the ranch to the south as open space (last I heard). Man - I always used to see all sorts of wildlife up there. I asked about hunting there once - it was spring turkey season and turkeys were all over the place - the answer was no - oh well.

Stay Safe - JohnDog

Ummm...
I see your point. Sorry.
It's easy to forget that the reader is not working from the same frame of reference as I. :)

Hi Frontsight! and all-

Would this idea work?

As you know there are quite a few reasonbly secure small safes in the 5 pound weight range specifically designed for handguns.

Have you considered the possibility of putting the gun into the safe and leaving the safe at the guard booth w/ the guards? I don't know if the configuration and mentality of that place would allow it but if it does this might be an approach.

Best of luck in any case - mckysdad
