That isn’t the question I asked. It is the question we both knew the answer to. It isn’t a question of the law, but one of politics.
We are in violent agreement: as the situation currently stands, the assumption is that military members can be trusted with weapons overseas but not at home. It is ludicrous in the extreme. I’m actually putting something together in the way of a petition to my congressmen (Cornyn, Hutchison, Ciro Rodriguez and Charlie Gonzalez) to repeal that section of the US Code and specifically permit military members with state CHLs and peace officers to carry on base. Anybody interested in coordinating? Pass this on to whoever might be interested, including the guy with the Armed Citizen Ping List.
