That's not correct. The incident in question occurred on
a public road outside the perimeters of the facility. The
State of Nevada has jurisdiction via the good ol' Lincoln
County Sheriff. The fact that this clown was headed
to the base is irrelevant. Suppose he hit and killed
a pedestrian over in Alamo on the way to work. Does he
have any shield or immunity? Of course not.

I'm sure you are correct.

If it's used anyway but on the facility proper, there will
be hell to pay.

You are again likely correct. No one was injured, and the
Sheriff will just view it as a minor incident. However
had someone been injured, I'd bet the person involved
would be flung out of that base into the waiting arms
of Lincoln County's finest like a hairball puked out of
a cat.

But where's the fun in that? The BLM has the same privileges
at the perimeter as it does on any public land. As long as
someone doesn't cross over....
