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

Should service members be able to conceal carry? Yes, but education and certifications should still be required. There are several service members that have no or little pistol experience. Still requiring a certification would ensure some level of basic knowledge on safety, usage, and local/federal laws. This would allow protect for the Soldier.

Without question. If we have earned the trust of the Federal government to go to war in defense of our country, we have earned the right to protect ourselves and our families if there is a direct threat to us. Of course the first time a war veteran returns with PTSD and kills his family or himself, those who thought it was a horrible idea in the first place will point to that single incident as to why it should never have been allowed. Proponents have to be ready to defend against those types of attacks

That would be a great idea, however I don't thint it will happen.

I personally have my carry, however, not with all states. I would ant to think this would be a safe idea to allow CAC holder the freedom to carry since we are more of a target to this late wave of terror against us as service member...The military need to make changes with the current threat CON...to better protect us while we are in country....home grown terror is blooming....

no. while some service members might be very familiar with weapons and safety most are not. i see no reason to bypass what ever legal process is in place to get authority to conceal carry.

I would like this. We're trained to handle at least the most basic firearms. We should be able to carry without going through the time and costs of more training to carry in the civilian world.

I absolutely beleive that we should.

I'm stationed at Ft. Hood and as much of a good idea it seems I'd have to disagree. Ft. Hood has been problematic when it comes to firearms. There are the publicized shootings that everyone knows about, but there has been a rash of shootings or threats of shootings on Ft. Hood. Firearms are a catch 22 situation, it will make a potential shooter think twice before shooting but in the same token it will turn some into a vigilante waiting for the moment to shoot for any reason. I'm on the fence on this one. I don't carry a weapon and don't think I would feel comfortable with everyone on post carrying one.

With the continuous threat against the country and now with opsec issues and the enemy can retrieve our names and information at home I do believe this is necessary. They can attack you at home with your family and this is a new threat that will hit is eventually. We can't always be reactive. We need to be proactive. Plus with the growing active shooter incidents we could be of use especially those who have been trained to handle that kind of situation. It is something to seriously consider.

Well considering there's a kill list targeting military personnel. I think so.
