Since the article says base commanders already had the authority to allow it, it will be interesting to see how many commanders make the change.

Military commander just need to enforce policies towards CHL holders like they do with motorcycles. Extra training to ride a motorcycle on some Army posts is ridiculous and if you chose not to, no motorcycle on post. Do the same for weapons.

MAJ Byron Oyler, By far the weapons training is more important than the motorcycle training. I like your suggestion. Hopefully the commander will think of that.

The statement below (from the linked article) and others like it is what scares me the most.
“As far as I'm aware, it's always been in the power of military commanders to make decisions of this nature,” Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence tells FoxNews.com. “But the men and women leading our military understand their mission and the risks that come with barracks and mess halls full of guns.
"Don't hold your breath waiting for them to embrace America's degenerate gun culture. They won't, and thank God given the potential implications for national defense."
