The "Trump-Effect" Ends Gun Free
Zones Before He Even Takes Office

By Bob Owens. November 22nd, 2016

I made a mistake.

When I wrote about Five Fast Gun Reforms President Trump Will Sign Into Law the day after the 2016 Presidential election, I made the assumption that we'd have to wait until Donald Trump was actually inaugurated in January for things to start to change. Instead, the first item on the list is already going into effect without the President-Elect having to lift a finger.

Following Trump's victory, the Pentagon has quickly issued a "clarification" regarding domestic military bases being "gun free zones," that they've oddly been working on for almost all of Barack Obama's presidency.

U.S. military personnel can now request to carry concealed handguns for protection at government facilities, according to new Defense Department directive issued last week in response to a series of deadly shootings over the last seven years....   ......

It is incredible that a change in policy has taken this long, considering that the Fort Hood massacre was seven years ago. In fact even more remarkable is the fact that there was ever any time when military personal could not be armed at all times, including on base. Very slowly there seems to be a trend (too slow) to see 'gun-free-zones' decreasing but there is still a long ways to go yet.
