There was an incident in Ft Lauderdale, several year ago now, involving an army ranger (there for MOUT training— or whatever they call it these days) and some locals.
In terms of concealed carry, that’s perhaps a bridge too far, but I would bet my bottom dollar there will be people trying to identify and provoke.
The army— it’s like Oldsmobile: it’s certainly not your father’s, and unfortunately they no longer have (if they ever did post-Vietnam) the confidence of certain segments of the population. I look at the nametapes on uniforms in photos from Afghanistan etc., and there’s a lot of Gonzalez and Hernandez, but Broward County (Ft Lauderdale) is not Dade County (Miami). It’s the most left wing county in the state. Check out the CDC-Atlanta stats for STDs in women under 25 for Broward County, FL. Different planet.
What is a bridge too far? You didn’t say anything.
And it is much better to be military in America today that it was in much of the 1960s and all of the 1970s and nobody wanted to kill them then, America loves their GIs, and especially the concealed carry Americans love them.
So the question remains.

Gets identified and gets whacked, by who, for what?
Why would concealed carry people be wanting to kill our GIs?
