How to transport firearms in Fort Johnson?

Hunters and marksmen not assigned to Fort Johnson are welcome to use the Wildlife Management area and Recreational Shooting Range if they follow a few basic guidelines.

In accordance with JRTC and Fort Johnson Regulation 190-3

Chapter 6 Transporting Firearms 6-1

Transport Of Firearms

Persons subject to this regulation will only transport privately owned firearms onto and within the Installation for authorized uses in accordance with Chapters 2 and 5. Privately owned firearms will be transported in vehicles only while traveling in a direct route to and from hunting areas, dog training areas, target ranges or other authorized activity locations. No stops are authorized. a. The carrying of a loaded firearm in a vehicle is prohibited. b. Privately owned firearms carried in a vehicle will be secured in the trunk. For vehicles without a trunk, firearms will be encased in a container.

Firearms will be transported in such a manner that they will not be readily available to the driver or passengers. Commercially available trigger locks and other security devices are strongly recommended to deter and prevent loss and theft. c. Personnel who remove privately owned firearms from the Installation will comply with applicable federal, state and local laws pertaining to ownership, possession and registration. d. The carrying of a concealed weapon on the Installation is prohibited regardless of whether a state or county permit has been obtained. For the purpose of this regulation, a concealed weapon is any instrument used or designed for the purpose of inflicting grievous bodily harm that is carried on the person in such a way as to be hidden from ordinary view. Folded knives with blades shorter than 3 inches are excluded from this definition. e. Privately owned firearms or other weapons will not be carried into public buildings, except as authorized in Chapter 5 and will not be carried into buildings or open areas where alcoholic beverages are served. f.
