Hegseth says he will let troops take personal firearms onto military bases - CBS News
Overview
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he will allow service members to carry personal firearms onto military installations, citing the Second Amendment and recent shootings at bases. The change reverses long-standing restrictions at many installations and shifts responsibility for on-base security toward individual service members and local commanders. The policy comes amid other high-profile actions by Hegseth and rising concerns about base security, including recent drone detections and leadership changes at the Pentagon.
