The Federal Government has a big stick.

An old bud told me of an Arsenal near where he lived as a kid during WWII.

The locals and the Arsenal workers had a lot of friction, the Arsenal having grown so big and so fast. The local cops used to harass the Arsenal workers.

One day, an Arsenal worker was being chased by a local Cop. Maybe speeding, who knows. The Arsenal worker has the proper decals and tags and goes by the Post Security. The Cop has no justification or even authority to go on the base but he keeps on the pursuit.

Bud told me the Soldier on guard at the gate, he lifted his thompson machine gun off the hook and unloaded it in the rear window of the Cop Car as it went by.

That ended the chase, and there was no question about the limits of local authority and whose law was enforced on the Arsenal.
