I’ve posted here before that I have a “judge/prosecutor” CHL in Texas that allows me to carry anywhere. The reason provided by the Legislature was that judges and prosecutors are supposed to be charged with assisting in the protection of the public, as well as being targets for disgruntled parties. This sounds like the same sort of reasoning. Frankly, I’m firmly of the opinion that “an armed society is a polite society”, so I think anybody ought to be able to carry anywhere. Even on military bases (my absolute pet peeve in this area).

Sure, but look at how fast this bill passed. Not even a whimper of dissent from the Democrats, yet they'll fight tooth and nail to prevent ordinary citizens from enjoying the same privileges they just conferred upon themselves.

Indeed; that pisses me off to no end as well.
After all the briefs on what a lawful/unlawful order is in my 9 years in the sheer hypocrisy of the “No Firearms on Military Bases” is astounding; consider that any law contrary to the Constitution *IS* unlawful, and that both Enlisted and Officers are sworn to uphold & defend the Constitution, they turn right around and ignore the plain language of “shall not be infringed.”
