There's a whitehouse petition circulating to pass a law similar to the nationwide cop carry law. It made its way onto my combat veterans motorcycle association facebook page.
Here's what I posted. I wonder what kind of responses i'll get?
"Remember when nationwide cop carry was passed, how the LE agencies and unions said they'd back up nationwide reciprocity? That the LE carry act was just a stepping stone?
They betrayed gun owners after that.
The military already has the ability to carry a weapon in the performance of their duties. Off duty, they are (and should be) the same as regular citizens. We don't need to create yet another protected class of citizen with an easier time exercising a constitutional right. This is one more step to separate agents of the gov from the citizenry they protect and support, and it's not right.
What we should work on instead is nationwide reciprocity for all CCW holders, regardless of affiliation with the government. Particularly considering the efforts within the federal government to curtail the second amendment rights of the citizenry.
We all took an oath to support and defend the constitution. What do you think the founders would think about a standing army that could carry with impunity, and a citizenry who could not?"
