I dont know who to trust with weapons these days, police are abusing their weapons like its some new trend and there are alot of untrustworthy people slipping through the cracks into the Armed forces. I jist dont know what to think

I believe that the military training should be a sufficient substitute for a basic weapons course if it is required for the state you are living in. Fortunately I live in Washington State and I did not have to jump through that hoop. All I had to do is get finger printed, fill out my application and wait. I do believe that there should be a application and a process in order to get the permit. Even though I do have my CWP, Washington is a open carry state, so if I did want to carry I could. I don't think that a concealed permit should be just automatic.

Absolutely not. First, some military personnel do not possess the proper training to safety carry concealed. Second, you need formal training to understand the laws and protections around carrying concealed. You would be naive to carry concealed and not fully understand the laws you must obide by. Third, people's mental health status can change at the blink of an eye so for a retired member at any point to be able to carry around a concealed gun doesn't seem at all safe. Good intentions but a horrible idea.

If a military member does not have the training to carry a weapon what the heck are they doing in the military. We are a PROFESSION of ARMS for God's sake!

I am a supporter of concealed carry but that doesn't mean that I am ignorant enough to believe ALL military members are qualified to do so. In the Air Force the vast majority of personnel have never even been trained with a handgun. So no I don't think they should be allowed to carry one around without training and education. We are the profession of arms and with that comes a great responsibility to ensure that personnel are capable/ and qualified to carry a weapon. I am a proponent of military members taking a CCW class in the state which they would like to carry so they can make informed decisions. This isn't a "one size fits all" situation.
