The Pentagon has released a directive allowing service members to carry firearms on military property, a significant policy shift. However, the policy remains restrictive, requiring commander approval (O5 or higher), a privately owned firearm, a minimum age of 21, completion of a concealed carry course, and potential state-level permits. Service members must also agree to personal liability if their weapon use is deemed negligent. While a step in the right direction, the policy has limitations such as a 90-day validity for carry permission and strict eligibility requirements regarding military and civilian legal history.
