The article states:

The permissions apply to uniformed and civilian Marine Corps law enforcement personnel, but only if they meet the credentials laid out in section 926B of the federal Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act, known as LEOSA. Approved personnel include military police, criminal investigators and Marine Corps Law Enforcement Program police officers.

Any law enforcement personnel opting to carry a concealed weapon must comply with the rules listed in a 2016 Defense Department directive called "Arming and the Use of Force." That includes rules about firearm registration, storage and transportation.

Military policy also bars Marines from carrying concealed firearms in Defense Department schools, some courtrooms and other locations where carrying a weapon is prohibited by law.
