Show Notes

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces a policy shift, allowing service members to carry personal firearms on military bases for self-defense. This change comes after recent shootings and a Pentagon report showing most active-duty suicides involve private guns. The new memo gives base commanders the authority to approve requests for privately owned weapons, unless theres a compelling reason to deny, in writing.
