What are the rules, Can you carry while in Uniform. Ive heard you can carry At some Military Ins, but not at bases. This is a grey area to me, What can i do and not do.

You cannot carry on base unless you have what I believe is a 522 (not a 523 weapons qual. card)IRCC. When I was on the marksmanship team we had an additional card that allowed us to carry concealed in uniform when we were transporting marksmanship weapons. There is no other circumstance that I'm aware of that will allow you to carry in uniform or on base. It also had to be USAF issue weapon, not your private weapon.

u have the forms backwards, AF Form 522a is the weapons qual card, AF form 523 is the CCW card. Getting a 523 is pretty much impossible unless your OSI or you do a lot of prisoner escorts. And even then its only for official duty reasons with AF issued weapons.

But as far as I know there is nothing that says u cant carry while in uniform but since you cant carry on any federally own or operated places and the only reason your going to be wearing ur uniform is if your working or going to/from the base I dont see a reason to carry in uniform.

Couldn't remember for sure but I knew it was something like that. I remember we had to fill out a buttload of extra paperwork so they could do a "background check". Which I though was rediculous since we were already in the military and had secret clearances.
