Show Notes
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth introduces a new policy allowing service members to carry personal firearms on bases for self-protection. Base commanders will approve most requests automatically, with denials requiring written explanation. This change comes after recent base shootings where soldiers intervened. Hegseth argues that trained personnel can respond quickly in crises, as most active-duty suicides involve personal guns. The policy aims to enhance protection without relying on external help that may not arrive in time.
