Show Notes
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announces new policy allowing military personnel to carry personal firearms on bases, naval yards, and recruitment centers, aiming to enhance self-defense during attacks. The policy shifts from case-by-case approvals to a presumption of approval, matching state gun laws. Gun rights advocates support the move, citing past attacks, and Mayra Guillen, sister of a murdered soldier, backs the change. The policy echoes a 2016 directive but streamlines approvals. Expect increased armed troops on bases as commanders manage the influx of requests.
