Your vehicle may be searched and you may be asked for vehicle registration and proof of insurance papers. This happens to everyone entering the post whose vehicle is not registered on Fort Knox, not just people with firearms. It will be very helpful to be cooperative and polite when dealing with the guards.

Unless on official law enforcement business, Fort Knox considers all peace officers as civilians and thus subject to all these requirements.

CAUTION: These matches are held on a U.S. military installation and everyone is subject to all applicable federal laws and military regulations while on post.

Concealed Carry Permits are not valid on federal installations and carrying concealed weapons of any kind on Ft. Knox is against federal law and military regulations. Competitors should arrive at Fort Knox early in order to process through the gate and arrive at the match promptly. All firearms must be unloaded and secured in an appropriate container. Ammunition must be stored in appropriate separate containers.
