White House Petition: Military Service Member's Safety Act of 2013

[Philhelm]

The “Military Service Member's Safety Act”, resembling the Law Enforcement Officer's Safety Act would allow for all cleared active duty,retired and national guard military personnel the right to carry a concealed weapon, including firearms, on a national level without having to obtain multiple state carry permits. The application process and background check would still apply, but the permit’s reciprocity would become accepted throughout the entire United States. This law would give America countless numbers of law abiding trained personnel to help prevent crime (including mass shootings) at no additional taxpayer expense. The law would provide clear nationwide rules to replace the variety of state/local laws that create confusion to military personnel continually changing duty locations.

Interesting. This should apply to all U.S. citizens according to the Second Amendment, but it would be a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Military Service Member's Safety act should be to bring the military service members home from war.

I'd like to see an addendum that states any veteran convicted of a non-violent felony retains his constitutional right to keep and bare arms.

This BS about disarming vets for civil "crime" is hogwash..


Better yet, repeal all laws that prohibit vets from being armed........There is no reason to write more laws.

Is it a step in the right direction when only certain members of society (read privileged class) are granted rights denied to the rest?

Absolutely not!

But in todays political climate arguing for veterans anything is going to have a better chance than arguing for "everyone":o
