Does anyone know the restrictions for defensive weapons kept in a civilian vehicle on military bases (APG North or South, Fort Meade, etc.)?
I've tried searching for policies on APG's website, but I haven't had any luck. I know vehicles are usually subject to random searches on military bases, so I want to make sure I'm squared-away legally.
Obviously firearms are probably a no-go. Can a fixed-blade knife be kept in the car? If so, where should it be kept? Are there any restrictions for folding knives kept in the car or on-person?
What about a tire thumper kept in the trunk along with jumper cables, etc.? I am assuming this would be OK. I've also thought about a Mag-Lite flashlight up front closer to the driver if there aren't any other options.
I'm not really concerned for my safety on a military base, but it would be nice to have some options that can stay in the car full time.
Any insight here is appreciated!
