Concealed carry for all current service members (CAC holders)?

It is my belief that with some additional credentialing, concealed carry firearms classes, and a background check, Soldiers should be able to carry in any state.

After recently going through a Utah Concealed Carry Firearm class, it is way to difficult to conceal carry in all states. With UT and WA concelaind carry, you are still only getting access to 32 of the 50 states. Also, that class was very educational, even for a seasoned concealed carreir!

My 2 cents...

We could only hope folks in charge of making these decisions smarten up and realize having trained armed personnel all over this country is the best defense we can get. "Why do I carry a gun everywhere I go? Because Cops are too heavy". Situations as such make us easy targets and now we are automatically the first responders.

I agree to off post and off duty with an application process using m4/16 certificates as eligibility.

yes

Please I hope I don't overly offend anybody but this would be the stupidest idea ever. All we need is more idiots with pistols. Now I own many pistols and have a cac permit in the hardest state to get one but no way. Our average soldier can't even qualify first round with a long rifle and we want openly say because you wear a uniform you can conceal a pistol. Less than 10% of the the army has 9mm pistols and those who do can't hit the broad side of a barn. I love my gun freedoms as again I own many hut I also spend time with them and can use them effectively. We are not special because we wear a uniform. More teachers have got shot recently then soldiers so should we let all teachers have CACs also. A firm believer that people kill people not guns but stupid kills more than most anything else. I truly understand and can see the other side hear but not something I would feel comfortable with. Again my intent is no to anger.

I'd say yes, but with some caveats. The person carrying has to have qualified with the weapon that he/she will carry, have no flags for disciplinary issues, there needs to be a formal counseling of the local laws governing concealed carry and the use of force and the chain of command has to track it.

I would love to see service members be able to not only carry concealed weapons at work, but also in their civilian time as well. Since recent events have demonstrated that not all service members are psychologically well enough to carry concealed weapons, I think that CCW courses be mandatory and that those who wish to carry concealed weapons be evaluated for things such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, substance abuse, and any other issues that may affect their judgement.

Not unless you have a post that requires you to carry a firearm

Uniformed should carry concealed side arms.
