Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lifts ban on service members carrying personal firearms on military bases
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday that he was signing a memorandum to lift restrictions on service members carrying personal firearms on U.S. military bases. The memo directs installation commanders to allow requests for personal protection with a presumption that carrying privately owned firearms is necessary. Previously, military personnel were generally prohibited from carrying personal weapons on base without permission from senior commanders.
