I do suppose clarification is already in order. I at this time am not advocating for a National CCW.
What I would rather see is the ability to carry within your state if you meet your states CCW criteria, and a separate CCW criteria on Federal Installations. Much how you can drive a motorcycle off post but to drive it on post you must attend the safety class. I can see this catering to a unique group of people but keep in mind there are a lot of DOD civilians that could use this also.
I would also venture to say that if you were able to obtain thru training and background checks, a CCW for all federal installations, that this would probably require more than all state CCW programs in place. That in turn could be recognized as required training for said states program making it easier to obtain, or instate automatic reciprocity for any Federal CCW holder.
Furthermore I believe that it SHOULD NOT be BRANCH nor RANK specific. If you have met the back ground checks and the required DOD safety / scenario training and firearms proficiency, you should be able to obtain this CCW. This would be the same EXACT training for everyone.
If we hire non military civilians just turning 21 to man our gates and trust them with a loaded firearm why not the Joe who has checked all the blocks and demonstrates the correct intent?
