Hurlburt Field implements new privately owned firearms policy June 1

A change in the firearms policy allow active duty Security Forces members and Air Force Office of Special Investigations agents to conceal carry privately-owned firearms while on Hurlburt Field once certain requirements are met, effective June 1, 2016. This new policy only applies to Hurlburt Field as each installation commander has been authorized to make changes to the privately-owned firearms policy for their installation. For individuals who qualify under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, the following will remain prohibited areas and firearm-free zones: Headquarters Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Force Special Operations Air Warfare Center, the 1st Special Operations Medical Group, Arms, Ammunition, and Equipment facilities, the commissary, all restricted and controlled areas, and the legal office/courtroom.
