Compare this kind of proposal to the weapons control procedures used by the most heavily armed people in the world, the US military. Except in active combat zones, personal weapons are kept under lock and key in a unit arms room. When they are issued for range practice, parades, or field exercises, each serial number is carefully recorded together with the name and service number of the soldier receiving it. Each one has to be returned at the end of the issue period, individually by the recipient soldier, or all hell breaks loose; that is, the MPs will turn the post upside down until they find it. Even in an authorized issue, officers and NCOs attempt to make sure that no armed soldier is alone with a large number of the unarmed. If someone does go over the deep end, you want somebody around who can deal it with it at once. Privately owned firearms are allowed but they must be registered with the provost marshal. If you live in the barracks, they must be stored in the unit armory along with the issue weapons, and signed out through normal chain of command. In family quarters, they must be stored in accordance with regulations that can vary from post to post. They must be locked up securely while moving them to and from the post. You are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon on any military post, even if you are licensed by the state in which the post is located.
