Hegseth Pushes On Base Gun Carry; USPS Moves to Allow Handguns in the Mail
About this episode
The episode discusses a memo by Pete Hegseth regarding off-duty military members carrying firearms and a proposed USPS rule for mailing handguns.
Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down the details of a new Pete Hegseth memo that seeks to expand how many off-duty military members can carry personal firearms for self-defense on military installations. We also cover a new US Postal Service proposed rule that would allow legal gun owners to ship handguns in the mail.
