Just wondering as my grandfather has a bunch of military weapons in his safe. He just tells me he kept them after the war.

Current US military, no.

Maybe in the past but i think now they would take them off you.

It was different back then. The Army was itching to get rid of excess material. Nowadays it is a big no no to keep government property.
**To the feller who mentioned a missing weapon… I remember a time during Reforger when some Joe lost his M-16. What a bummer… was looking for that damn thing for two days.

Not anymore. You get issued a sidearm if your specific job for that day requires it. You don’t get to take it home. In a combat zone, you’ll be issued a weapon for the deployment and then turn it back in when you return.

Its called the Second Amendment
If you are NOT the owner then No is the answer

Absolutely not as it is government property and the Army gets real upset when a weapon turns up missing.

In the Army you sign for everything they let you use, and anything that does not touch the skin directly (i.e. clothing, not weapons) must technically be returned. That side arm belongs to the military and must be returned. Times were different when your grandfather served. He is probably telling you the truth. You can also buy some of the same weapons the military carries if you have the proper permits.

You may not currently keep any military weapon that you are issued.
