[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4125378, member: 42584"] [B]TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- [/B] The state law that allows Oklahomans to have a concealed-carry permit has absolutely no bearing on Tinker. The law, signed by Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin in 2012, is a state mandate and not a federal regulation, so it has no bearing on Tinker, a Department of Defense property. "It is illegal to bring a firearm or other dangerous weapons into a federal installation," said Tech. Sgt. Rob Briggs, 72nd Security Forces Squadron non-commissioned officer in charge of police services. As part of the Tinker Integrated Defense Plan 31-101, "[B]No person shall carry a concealed firearm or dangerous weapon on Tinker AFB.[/B] This prohibition also applies to individuals with state concealed firearms licenses as these permits have no authority on federal installations. Such licenses are not valid on any part of Tinker AFB." The exception is for 72nd SFS personnel, Air Force Office of Special Investigation agents and civilian police personnel on official business. The installation commander has the authority to restrict privately-owned weapons on the installation. "The reason for base restriction is not to take away anyone's right to bear arms, but to ensure the safety of everyone living and working on the installation," said Sergeant Briggs. Civilians violating the law will be cited by Security Forces or local law enforcement, and their case will be heard in a downtown Oklahoma City magistrate court.
