David Benson, 7th Bomb Wing commander, now permits authorized personnel that possess a current and valid Texas Concealed Handgun License or a reciprocating state concealed carry license to transport and secure privately-owned handguns in privately-owned vehicles within legal boundaries of Dyess Air Force Base.
"While this policy change does not allow concealed carry on base, it does allow those who carry concealed weapons to transport them onto and off the base in their vehicles," said Col. David Benson, 7th Bomb Wing commander. "This provides a safe and secure way to bring their weapons on base."

TSgt Joshua Copeland this is a game changer. I wonder if it will catch on in the military world wide.

I would take that here (Tyndall), as I'm not as concerned about something happening on base as I am on my commute to and from work.

TSgt (Join to see) This is a common sense policy that allows folks to carry to and from work without creating undo burden on both SFS and the member.
Get to the gate
De-arm and lock up the firearm in the vehicle
Drive to the Armory
Wait and turn in the firearm
Now finally go to work.
End of day, do the same process in reverse. Talk about a time sink!
