The Fort Campbell PX is only allowed to sell to Kentucky residents. For those aware of the geography, the Kentucky-Tennessee state line runs right through Fort Campbell, and the PX happens to fall on the Kentucky side.
They (the FFL contractor that handles gun sales for the PX) asked for permission to open a "branch" at the AFEES mini-mart on the south side (Tennessee side) of post so they could sell to Tennessee residents, but were denied. An Division HHC soldier, and the residents of the old 1st Brigade barracks could not buy, but Task Force, 2nd and 3rd Brigade could. All depends on where you reside.
When I asked why, the man behind the counter said "the General (I assume he meant the 2 star Commanding General) didn't want to make any more guns available."
So, as a legal resident of Tennessee, I cannot go into the Fort Campbell PX and buy a gun.
