USS Midway is CCW Friendly

[RDCPC832]

I work the USS Midway too, in the same field as Team Ball's Out. If you have just a regular CCW and your not LE active or retired without proper ID, weapon is not coming on the ship period. End of story.

The USS Midway Museum owns the ship, and the museum is a privately-owned. The Navy owned the decommissioned USS Midway until 2003 when it was donated to the 501(c)3 non-profit that was known as the San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum. It opened as the USS Midway Museum in June 2004.

Many years ago i carried on Air Force One (Reagan library version). Not sure of legality, but it was fun, felt like the American thing to do.

Pity. I know they do as told.

Weird, I was there last summer and carried. Might of been 2 summers ago.

Technically it's still owned by the Navy not to get in to tiny details.

Others disagree. (https://www.midway.org/about/about-the-uss-midway).

On April 11, 1992, Midway was decommissioned in San Diego and sat silently in the ghost fleet at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility at Bremerton, Washington until 2003 when it was donated to the 501(c)3 nonprofit San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum organization.

Same. So much FUD here.

Likely depends on who is admitting you.
Some notice some don't
Some care some don't

Metal detector doesn't detect 100% of the time.?

OP said they just eyeballed his pockets

????

Everyplace in CA now has metal detectors?

[colbythekid]

That is good to know. I went with my family about 2 years ago and as we approched the ticket gate I noticed the metal detectors. I told my wife I needed to go put my gun in the safe in my truck.

[packnrat]

i say if we can not carry in places, then niter should retired, or OFF DUTY police...NO matter the department.

Since this has been resurrected…..the policy is still that you would deny entry to fully-vetted CCw holders, but allow active PD like Chris Dorner aboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ...gs_and_manhunt

The MIDWAY is NOT state property, federally owned.

Sounds about right. Just like Alameda County ignores the findings of the psychology review to not hire a guy as a deputy sheriff, hires him anyway and he murders his lover and her husband in a break-in, yet they require CCW applicants to pass a psychological exam. 🤨

Once again, No.

On April 11, 1992, the Midway was decommissioned in San Diego and remained in the inactive ship fleet in Bremerton, Washington, until 2003, when it was donated to the 501(c)3 nonprofit San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum organization. It opened as the USS Midway Museum in June 2004.
