MCoE Regulation 190-11

(1)The firearm(s) is unloaded and separated from the am- munition. The term “separated” means that the ammunition is not attached or affixed to the firearm and is not stored inside the case with the firearm. Ammunition may be stored in a pocket or compart- ment on the outside of the case.

(2)Muzzle loading firearms may contain a powder charge and projectile in the chamber but cannot have a percussion cap, primer, flint, powder or other firing device on the nipple or flash pan. Electronic ignition muzzle loading firearms must have the battery removed and separated from the firearm.

Regardless of whether the vehicle has a trunk or not, the firearm must be placed in a hard or soft case with the ammunition separated from the firearm.

Firearms in a "gun sock" or holster will not be considered cased. The actual firearm cannot be in “plain view.” Therefore, a firearm en-

closed in a standard hard or soft case is NOT in "plain view." At no time should a firearm, cased or un-cased, be transported in window gun racks. Under no circumstances may an uncased firearm be transported under or behind a seat or in a glove compartment, con- sole, seat pouch or similar location.

2-6. Ammunition and Explosives.

a. The unusual amount and diversified character of firing con- ducted on Fort Benning requires that special and intelligent care be exercised to avoid accidents. All concerned with handling, care and use of ammunition and explosives, or with the conduct or direction of any firing, or the care and police of buildings and areas which are used for storing explosives will familiarize themselves with current safety regulations and field and technical manuals pertaining to the munitions being handled.

b. The firing of ammunition of any type over buildings or other structures, public highways, or public railroads, is prohibited.
