Yeah, this is entirely up to the Base Commander. This is the first time I have heard of any base allowing concealed carry though. Our local bases are in bad areas here. I live off base. I have a concealed carry permit from the state, but can’t carry when I need it most when going through these bad areas to go on base. I am fairly certain that this is the case on almost every military facility, including Fort Hood. In any event, Congress should actually do something good for change and pass legislation allowing military folks to carry on base if there is no specific restrictions on that particular person.
Retired military wife. I hate going to the commissary and BX. The base is on the wrong side of town. I feel naked with out my pistol.
