A small gesture, IMHO. You are required to submit a written request just to keep a gun inside your military home. Or to carry it concealed. And those of us who are retired? Can’t even ask for permission to CCW.
So if I go to town and need to visit the base for some reason, I cannot even carry a gun in my car. I have to either disobey the rules (!) or be totally unarmed my entire trip. Spent most of my adult life with a TS clearance, CCW almost all the time legally now, but cannot even keep a .380 in the car while stopping to do something on the base.
I rarely use the base anymore, but I think the entire policy is STUPID!
I spent a lot of time on a military base.
Being a LEO at the time I was given special compensation to carry on that on base.
I could never understand why our military personal. could not also carry on base.
So please clarify, do you support the change that Hegseth has made or not?
National Cemeterys are disarmed enclaves. Time to end that.
