[QUOTE="MCVetSteve, post: 2489780, member: 33591"] Statistically Privates would not be allowed to carry anyways, because every state that I know of requires that you're 21 before you can acquire a handgun license, or whatever it's called in the various states that have military installations. The vast majority of people who enlist, do so right out of high school or shortly thereafter at the age of 18. I did so at 17, with parental consent of course. That being the case, most are at least E-4s by the time they're allowed to carry in the states in which they're stationed. On the other hand, military tactical training is very different than any active shooter scenario I've ever heard of. Perhaps they could impose additional training requirements, as most do with motorcycles? You may well have a motorcycle and license, but if you ever want to ride it on base most require at least an MSF basic rider's course. The same could be done with concealed carry, could it not?
