Is there a rule stating that when not in use, arms room weapon racks must be locked, and/or only one rack can be open at a time?

I’ve looked everywhere in AR 190-11 and searched a few SOP’s but can’t find anything. I’ve always heard of this and could’ve sworn it was a rule.

I truly hated being the sensitive items inspector for a tank battalion. I had a helper but it would take me the whole day to conduct.

MAJ Ken Landgren - we figured it out, there was a set down range on rotation that the HR was poorly written and the serial numbered sign out log showed it out....after hour two. As a PL I dumped the unit upside down to solve the problem before my Troop Commander had to be involved. He Warrant Officer who owned the soldier (Aramament Warrant) figured it out as I had the first two numbers dialed to the Commander. My Troop Commander would have killed someone, and it was well within his intent that I try and fix it first. I did flesh to metal the next day just to make sure (I had to go out to the box).

LTC Jason Mackay - My first field problem as a tank platoon leader, I found NVGs on the ground. It had the bumper number of the tank on the case. I was not too happy. I implemented hands on inventory of sensitive items when we reached a certain destination and before we left the area.

I don't remember if this was just a thing we did or if it was reg. If AR 190-11 doesn't say it then you can check the DA Pam. I'm pretty sure - if I remember it correctly - weapons had to remain behind two locks; if in, say, a connex, they had to remain locked in the cages because the only other lock was the connex door. If behind the arms room heavy door and the gate door they could remain unlocked in the cages. Don't quote me on that though; it has been quite a while since I ran an arms room (2009-2011).
