Didn’t quite get the answer you offer.
My example may not be workable in every situation, but then those are the details to be worked out. AFA you DL being a CCWL- not. MO is a permitless carry state too- I always recommend folks get CCW cert training and a CCWL for all the benefits of the doubt. You my be a well qualified cC type, but I would hesitate to assume so. As a former CCWL instructor here in MO, I turned down quite a few folks who could buy a firearm, but did not meet my criteria for my signature.
The mechanics of a vessel etc- well, tell us how it should work. Would tend to think that a boat anchored at a naval base is not the same as one underway etc ( but I am not a naval officer nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn recently).
We agree on the stinking princes and risk avoidance wet lilies....
Doesn’t matter who thinks what about our CCW - we’ve had that since three years prior to VT becoming a State in 1791, and we’re consistently in the top three of the safest states. I’ll guarantee you I know more about rules of deadly force than most VSP and Sheriff’s Deputies in their 20’s.
All I can tell you about a ship pierside at a base - that ship’s Commanding Officer is responsible for it - not the base CO.
