Questions related to firearms registration should be directed to the Fort McCoy Physical Security (608) 388-2357

Fort McCoy is requiring that all privately owned firearms brought on to the installation be registered through the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Police Department. This requirement pertains to anyone with a privately owned firearm in their possession who is on Fort McCoy for any reason, including hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, shooting range events, or visiting members of the Fort McCoy community.

The firearms registration is required by Army Regulation 190-11, 4–5, "Privately owned weapons and ammunition," which states, "Personnel who bring a firearm onto the installation to engage in authorized activities will register it."

Firearms are required to be registered with the police department prior to entrance or immediately upon entering any lands identified as Fort McCoy property. The registration will be completed by using a form provided by the DES Physical Security Office.

Questions related to firearms registration should be directed to the Fort McCoy Physical Security (608) 388-2357.

Each person who registers firearms will receive a firearm-registration record. Anyone engaged in authorized activities that require possession or transportation of a firearm must have the firearm registration record in their possession, and the record must be presented to law-enforcement personnel upon request.

Once completed, firearm registrations will be valid on Fort McCoy indefinitely unless otherwise changed by regulation. If a registrant no longer has a firearm on the registry, they should contact the police department to have the firearm removed from the registry.

Firearms used, possessed, transported, or stored in violation of this policy also may be permanently confiscated by authorized law-enforcement personnel or proper command authority. Disposition of confiscated weapons will be determined through due process following appropriate UCMJ, disciplinary, or administrative actions.
