Apparently this already exists for military veterans. My neighbor (ex- career Air Force) was "tooling up" for a multi-state RV tour, and he mentioned in passing that as a vet, he could apply for some sort of military exemption, which he did. (Note...I am not a vet, so have no clue as to whether what he told me is correct).
In my state, if you qualified with a weapon in the military within 10 years, you could skip the CC course. Still had to pay the money and fill out the paperwork and it is a standard CC with all the same restrictions.
Doesn’t sound right to me. There’s no federal veteran CCW exemption that I’m aware of. Every time I went TDY, I had to check the reciprocity chart to see if I could pack my weapon. Being a JAG, I’m kinda sensitive that way...
