In the military, if the wording is “may issue”, then there will not be any significant number of commanders who will give OK.
There is no up-side for the commander allowing carry. The commander will be held totally responsible for anything bad which happens. Any incident involving any person who they have OK’ed to carry, will likely be career-ending for the officer who signed off on their permission to carry. Hence, there will be NO permission to carry.
It needs to be a “SHALL issue” environment, where successful completion of a standard NRA firearms training course, plus absence of specific disqualifications, SHALL authorize the soldier to carry on base.
And it will need to be made clear to commanders, that there will be definite downsides to impeding CCW, such as the commander being held responsible if there is an incident where troops are killed while defenseless.
You understand how it works.
“standard NRA firearms training course”?
Are you saying that a Military firearms training course would not be acceptable?
