Military service members, both active and veteran, should be able to carry concealed firearms when they are in possession of a current valid concealed weapons permit issued by the state. Had concealed carry been permitted, service members could have potentially stopped the July 2015 shooting in Chattanooga before 5 of our soldiers tragically losing their lives by the hand of an armed gunman. The men and women in our United States Military serve to protect this country everyday, and they deserve the right to protect themselves also.
