Now, breaking down a rifle and putting it under the back seat, that would pretty easy and quickly accessible, depending on the vehicle.
AF bases are required to perform RAM's (Random Anti-Terrorism Measures) daily. These can be simple measures the average person never see's to searching every third vehicle through the gate. Of course, with heightened security comes increased measures. When I had to search vehicles, I checked under the seats (including the rear seat), under the dash, in the spare tire well, etc. on every vehicle I "inspected". Some inspections are less intense, some are worse. I wouldn't want to be the person found to have a firearm in my vehicle during one of these searches.

That isn't completely accurate. While I can't speak for every base, I do know that some AF bases will still register vehicles and issue DD Form 2220's - on request. The main reason AF folks in the Springs want to get the decals is because Fort Carson still requires all vehicles to be registered or have a pass. If you don't want to wait around every time for a pass (like when you want to go the the P.X. and especially if you are on your way to Evans Community Hospital), it's just smarter to have a decal on your car. Of course, you still have to stop and show your ID.
