The reg used to state even if you lived off post, if you were stationed at Ft. Carson and lived within 50miles of post you had to register your weapons. That proved unenforcable and pointless so it was dropped. If you live on post in "family housing" and you're an E5 or above you can keep your firearms at your house. They have to be registered though. If you live in the barracks the firearm gets locked up in the arms room.

I haven't really had an issue with it. I usually register my firearms with whatever post I'm on so I can shoot at the on post range. Colorado Springs is horrible for places to shoot. They either want to bend you over and steal the cash out of your wallet while they're giving it to you or you have to drive 45 mins to find a place to shoot. Range 1 is 5 mins from my house, free, and has paper targets to 300 yds and steel out to 400. The whole registration thing sucks but it's nice to be able to shoot right here.

I figured there may be a few members that hunt on post or live on post and already shoot there. I don't have an issue finding another place to shoot...just name the place guys. I'm up for it!
