I agree with you. Just saying that vets should have concealed carry privilege with no other requirement. Show a DD214 with “Honorable” and you can pack.

Everyone else can do the routine with no let or hindrance.

I am not a vet. I was taught marksmanship by my late father starting when I was 6 or 7. Dad was a Marine who after getting filariasis after the battles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville was sent stateside to recover and was given temporary duty as a prison guard at the Portsmouth Naval prison on the Maine / New Hampshire border. The way he described some of the prisoners I would suggest that not every vet should be allowed carte blanche with weapons. At least no more than any other citizens.

I shoot with a couple of Vietnam era vets who are less than exemplary at safety.
As a club range officer I have had to take folks to task.

In general you are correct though. Most vets are better than folks who were never in the service

Constitutionally every man and woman should have unfettered access to weapons

The Second Amendment?? .......It’s a RIGHT. Not a privilege for the elites.

I always thought that a concealed carry permit should be automatically granted to any military who had an honorable discharge.

And I will add that they were trained and showed proficiency with the fire arm as well.

why should vets get to enjoy the constitution and no one else?

lets face it....there are a lot of looney vets out there....many loons join the service, stay loons, and come out as looney or more....

it doesn't make me feel safer to know that ONLY these people get a free pass to carry.
