Let me try again:

This bill would have military members 18-20 be allowed to CCW contra their civilian peers vis-à-vis age group. Why? Because there is an incorrect assumption they are somehow more suited to it.

Fact: they're not. None of their training is meant to cross over, is not applicable, and in certain situations would be a liability without a look at how to address the specific differences in being a soldier and being another civilian on the block with a CCW.

How true. There's a misconception out there that being in the military they have better training when it comes to concealed carry. because, once again they are military trained.

Another fact: This bill doesn't mean SHIT to the Division Commander, the Brigade Commanders, the Company Commanders and all the 1SG's and CSM's. Not a crusty turd will be shat out of their care holes. Why? Because the State of CO doesn't make the rules.



Another fact: If this passed, guess who lives in the barracks? the single guys (18-20). Guess who has to register their weapons on post and cannot keep them on post except in the Arms room and that's as massive PITA to get checked out? The single guys. Guess what would be a violation of current Colorado law? Leaving one's weapon in the possession of a buddy off post as a normal thing, so you don't get hosed by the Arms room being inaccessible to check out your personal weapon.

That's SOP for any on base personnel . Checking on to a few bases as civilians we had to go to armory, log in to SP , log out, etc.

Again, I ask, why not simply make it law that allows everyone 18-20 do CCW? At least then it wouldn't be a hollow bill with Rah Rah PV2 Jimmy Bobb bullshit behind it. At least then, it wouldn't put the commanders on edge and be effectively worthless.

I say again, there is nothing special about young soldiers as concerns the intention of this bill. Nothing.
Agree.
