We're the Armed Forces not the Police. If you want to carry around a weapon get out of the Military and become a Police Officer. Certain laws were set in place after the Civil War, I personally believe there are not enough acts of Terrorism to justify having a weapon in America. I think this will only lead to some bad apples getting into trouble.

So we must wait for something to happen before we act? I don't think most people would agree with that. Again, not for everyone, but those who have the proper training and credentials. Absolutely. We are sitting ducks for someone who is motivated and smart enough to beat the system. I have a real world incident, recently, that ended well, but could have gone south very quickly.

I believe that the "Posse Comitatus Act" may be a reason as to why all Active Service Members are not allowed to carry at all times in a Garrison environment. Even Military Police are not authorized to carry "off duty".

The PCA only stops the military from acting as civilian police. Allowing the CAC holder to conceal carry due to military weapons training or allowing military to carry on the base as long as they have suffiecient training and keep up their quals.

No, I do not think the CAC should be a license to for concealed carry. Too many Soldiers just do not have the discipline to carry weapons safely while deployed, much less in the general populace, and allowing them to carry just because they are military is not a good solution. I have had to correct too many Soldiers overseas about walking around FOB's, their weapons slung over their backs and not on safe, not to mention of all the unsafe handling of weapons I have seen from these "trained" Soldiers.
Should military members have the option to attend concealed carry training at no cost? Absolutely. In fact, they should be encouraged to. Everybody has the right to defend themselves, and I believe that since our men and women in our military are being targeted because of their service, they should be given the proper training to defend themselves at home.

If you fully qualified with weaponry then with maybe some additional I believe we should be allowed to as we are sworn to the defense of our country and you never know when that could be no matter how big or small the situation is.

With the increased threats against service members, veterans, and their families. My answer is yes.
However, in order to accomplish this, those desuring to should be required to get legally registered.

Yes... however there should be formal training conducted that is more advanced than the CCW courses provided to civilians. rank may have its place in this as some feel only Officers and NCOs should be granted this but from my experience those individuals may not always be best.
