Here in Virginia a few years ago I turned in the paperwork for my wife, including her DD Form 214, and she had her card in just over a week. Santa just replaced her compact 9mm with a compact 45 ACP.
She is now happy.
My daughter got her CHP last month. Carries a compact 40 S&W.
Both of my daughters are in high school. I wish they could carry. I trust the judgement of my youngest daughter, a 15 year old, more than anyone in government. Both of my girls shoot better than me ... but not much better.
I would have never thought to include the DD 214.
Good idea.
