More on West Jemez road

Hello, members...

I'd like to address John's recent post regarding transporting 
firearms on West Jemez Road and the possible limitations associated 
with the Security Perimeter Project.

In my position at LANL, I am intimately involved in the development 
of proposed policy regarding transportation of firearms using Jemez 
Road. While I must be cautious regarding making statements that may 
be interpreted as official LANL policy in this venue, I can state 
that at this point, there is no intention -- or recommendation going 
forward -- to impose restrictions affecting the transportation of 
firearms in vehicles on Jemez Road at the current Security Condition 
(SECON) level. 

At higher SECON levels, there may be such restrictions put into place…
and, it's my firm belief they would be needed and necessary to ensure 
the protection of LANL assets and personnel. It's been our experience 
since the events of 9/11 that higher SECON levels are usually short-
lived, and if additional restrictions were imposed, they would be of 
minimal impact to those of us who carry firearms in our vehicles.

I must stress, however, that while there is no current or intended 
transportation restriction for Jemez Road at this SECON level, those 
transporting firearms in their vehicles must not turn off onto any 
other road on LANL property or into any LANL parking lot where 
official "No Trespassing" signs are posted. If you do so, you are 
subject to being charged with trespassing if your firearm is 
discovered in your vehicle during routine security operations.

If you would like to talk to me more about this issue, feel free to 
contact me at 665-7907 in the office, or 660-1868 at home. I'll be 
happy to discuss it as much as I can without getting into "official 
policy" space before it is published.
