Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new policy regarding firearms on military bases?

A new directive allows War Department personnel to request permission to carry privately owned firearms on military installations for personal protection. This reverses previous policies that made bases effectively 'gun-free zones' for most personnel.

'Shall issue' states must grant a concealed carry permit if the applicant meets all legal requirements. 'May issue' states allow authorities discretion in granting permits, often requiring a specific demonstrated need.

Why is it important for military personnel to be able to carry firearms on base?

Recent incidents highlight that threats can occur close to home, even on military installations. Allowing trained personnel to carry firearms for personal protection can be crucial in critical, time-sensitive situations.

How are denials for carrying firearms on base handled under the new policy?

If a request for a service member to carry a privately owned firearm on base is denied, the denial must now be provided in writing, detailing the specific reasons and basis for that decision.
