Fine - you can (with commander approval) carry your weapon on base.
How do you get from your home to the base?
"Written permission will be valid for 90 days or as long as the DoD Component deems appropriate and will include information necessary to facilitate the carrying of the firearm on DoD property consistent with safety and security, such as the individual's name, duration of the permission to carry, type of firearm, etc.," according to the document.
I wonder what "or as long as the DoD Component deems appropriate" means...
How it SHOULD be:
All of the above PLUS if you are wearing your uniform, I don’t care if it’s Calif, NY, or Hawaii, then you can carry.
If they can be identified, then they’re a target.
I think if Calif doesn’t go along with it they should lose all their highway funding.
And I am IN California.
“or as long as the DoD Component deems appropriate”
It means until another Democrat gets elected President!
"Uh... I have to be honest with you, I have a rifle in the trunk."
"This is a MILITARY BASE! There are NO GUNS allowed here!"
Only partially good news, I’d like to carry my gun when I go into Memphis, but if I go to the Base I can’t carry.
Memphis is the crime Capitol of TN. 200+ murders so far this year up more than 17% over last year. 2 weak Police PC Chiefs. Not enough jail space. Juvy has even less. We have 2 juvy prisons, 2 women’s rest males. 30% serve rate, blacks serve 6 months less.
Your only recourse is to fight parole hearings if you live.
Why is this actually happening under a Democrat POTUS?
Folks with Military ID’s active, retired or 100% disabled Vets can bring a firearm or firearms on Post to go shoot on a range. The weapons have to be registered on Post.
Here is a more realistic analysis:

Why “privately owned”? Shouldn’t all service personnel be issued a sidearm just like police?
More winning?
“may grant permission ...”
This is the old “may issue” status, that has become obsolete in most states, in favor of “shall issue”. Let’s hope the next step is to change this language.
Why can’t bases just honor the home states permits. Why are employees on the base left defenseless to and from work? Odd how the bases pick and chose what state laws to impose.
We have a state law baring employers from blocking right to carry in our car even on the employers parking lot. Employers can keep people from carrying into a building but state reaffirmed our right to maintain arms in vehicle. Federal base said screw the state and exempted our states laws again.
Federal law allows for commanders to allow personnel to carry at all times anywhere. All we have to do is remove the SECEF prohibiting it.
Fine - you can (with commander approval) carry your weapon on base.

I wonder why simply arming the sentries on duty with government-issued weapons is such a hard thing.
