Concealed carry for active-duty military
If enacted, qualified active-duty service members would have concealed-carry recognized across states like some police officers. You would need to be on active duty and have passed a military firearms qualification within the last 12 months. You would need to show a valid Department of Defense common access card or a successor ID and paperwork proving the qualification. Photographic ID would still be the applicable ID for law enforcement officers. This would take effect upon enactment.
