Concealed Carry in Alaska OK unless you’re in the Army!

The US military has long maintained rather strict rules about privately
owned firearms on their bases but the Commander of the US Army in
Alaska has
taken gun control in the military to a whole new level – both on base
and
off.

Last November Major General Charles H. Jacoby Jr., the Commanding
General of
US Army Alaska, put out a three-page policy statement outlining the
most
draconian firearms registration, storage, and transportation rules
imaginable. These restrictions apply to all personnel living on post,
including service members, their families, and civilians living in base
housing and carry serious penalties for failure to comply.

Recently General Jacoby took his gun control scheme a step farther by
releasing a policy statement forbidding any US Army Alaska personnel to
carry a concealed weapon any time, anywhere, on post or off post
regardless
of Alaska law to the contrary.

The Policy Statement, which can be found at:
http://www.usarak.army.mil/policies/PUBS-ACROBAT/USARAK_Policies/CGCOFS%20POLICY\
%20STATEMENT%2020.pdf

reads as follows:

“Carrying concealed deadly weapons by USARAK Soldiers represents a
significant risk to the safety and welfare of this command.
Accordingly, all
Soldiers assigned or attached to USARAK are prohibited from carrying a
concealed deadly weapon in public places off of all USARAK posts. All
persons are prohibited from carrying concealed deadly weapons on USARAK
posts IAW [in accordance with] USARAK Regulation 190-1.”

No exceptions, no excuses, no appeals.

This outrage must be answered immediately!

Please take a moment to send a note to your Representative and
Senators, the
Pentagon, and this very confused General.

PLEASE FORWARD this information to everyone on your e-mail list and
especially to other local and national gun groups that should be
