ALL ACTIVE DUTY MEMBERS HEADS UP!!!!

Gentlemen,

I am an 11B currently assigned at Fort Campbell. I live off post, with my firearms (which I don't bring on post for any reason). A very frightening thing happened at work yesterday. I was ordered to fill out a list containing my firearm information. This included make, model, caliber, and serial number of all firearms I currently posses. In addition, I was also required to list registration information, location of all weapons individually, and information regarding any CCW permits I posses. If you are like me, then the people you work with know you have firearms. So I had to list at least some. I tried to talk to my 1sg (who is normally approachable through proper channels) to find out what this is for, and I was basically told, "I don't give a ! &@%, just put your info on the form." I don't know how high this goes, but I am hearing that this is going on in other units at Fort Campbell as well. It just seems a little coincidental to me that within 90 days: the most anti-firearm President in history is inaugurated, some of the nastiest anti-firearm laws are put on the table in Washington, and then the Army comes around wanting what amounts to a registration on all firearms, even if they are off post, and doesn't provide any reason or purpose as to why. I fear something really nasty is blowing in the wind here. I have been in almost 8 years, and never have any of my units asked for this information. If any of you out there have any info as to what all this crap is about please chime in. Otherwise consider yourself warned. I have already posted this on every other firearm forum I am a member of to get the word out.

Here it is folks.

I was unable to insert the original copy from the Dept. of the Army.

The question is - What will you do when a well armed group comes to your door with a search warrant demand you to turn over all of your firearms and ammunition? They probably will do this @ random and different areas of town. Those with recently purchased items (those that are on their list) will be first.

Guns? What guns?

People in the military are potential right-wing terrorists. Janet Napolitano said so.

She also said that actual terrorist are not to be called that, and that they commit "man-caused disasters", not terrorism.

Either way, I hope this is a hoax.

Google came up with a few hits, though the guys at Snopes clearly don't get it:

A military commander at Fort Campbell in Kentucky demanded his soldiers give him the registration numbers of any guns they own privately and then reveal where they are stored.

The order was stopped, according to base officials, when it was discovered the commander was not "acting within his authority."

The original order was issued on the letterhead of Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment and said effective March 11, any soldier with a "privately owned weapon" was required to submit the information, along with any information about any concealed carry permit the soldier may have, and what state issued the permit.

Thank you John.

That is comforting on two levels:

1) That it was stopped.

AND

2) That it was an isolated incident.

I don't see what the problem is.

Just list them and hand in the document. Does it make you less of a person to have declared them?

I have guns and the authorities know the serial numbers and locations of them, they always have, and no one is trying to take them off me.

I think you should take all your weapons down to the nearest military base and see if they'd like to discuss the matter.
