Safe Bases Act of 2025
The Safe Bases Act of 2025 requires the Department of Defense to create a single office that issues concealed firearm permits to eligible active-duty military members on all military installations. It directly affects active-duty service members who are not barred from firearm ownership under federal law (18 U.S.C. §922). The permit system must be operational within one year of the bill's enactment, allowing these members to carry concealed firearms on base without additional restrictions. The law specifically applies to military installations and does not change firearm access for civilians or non-active-duty personnel.
