Nobody has mentioned something about base access that might be really important depending on circumstances:
ANY vehicle or person entering a U.S. Military Facility, regardless of their ID, is subject to a full search and sniff at any time, anywhere on the base. And most bases, Tinker included, conduct unannounced security and lockdown exercises which entail vehicles being randomly pulled over in a separate lane at the gate, where MP's and possibly drug dogs go thoroughly and carefully through them from top to bottom and front to back. Woe betide the person who forgot his EDC was still under the seat, or in the cubby, or even in a locked tool box in a pickup bed. You are simply screwed by Federal Law and are in for a long day at the very least. No state or local law or license regarding carry, transport, or possession of firearms will mean diddly squat to the base MP's. There are no excuses. My personal truck has been searched twice in the past few years, and fortunately in each case I had remembered to leave my EDC at home. I've also forgotten to do that a couple of times over the years, and have won the lottery by not being nailed. But it's a scary thing to realize after you've return home, and if you don't make a regular habit of visiting military bases, it's an easy thing to forget.
Ditto for marijuana medical cards. There is no Federal MJ card. And if your buddy left a roach under the seat last time he rode with you, shame on you, it's now your problem.
