Summary
A retired Army special operations veteran, Gavin Glasenapp, is urging Congress to pass the Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act, which would grant qualified former special operators nationwide concealed carry privileges. The bill, introduced by Sen. Tim Sheehy, would allow special ops veterans to carry concealed firearms across state lines, similar to retired law enforcement officers. Glasenapp argues that special operators are uniquely trained to protect themselves and others, and that this legislation would be a step towards nationwide concealed carry reciprocity.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Gavin Glasenapp, a retired Army special operations veteran, is advocating for legislation that would grant special ops veterans the same concealed carry privileges as retired law enforcement officers.
The proposed bill would require special ops veterans to complete a Justice Department-certified course and pass a yearly firearms qualification.
However, Glasenapp believes that annual re-certification should not be required, as special operators have already demonstrated their judgment and skills.
The legislation has sparked debate, with some arguing that it would be a step towards nationwide concealed carry reciprocity, while others express concerns about the potential risks.
The familiar ritual of advocating for expanded gun rights continues, with special ops veterans at the center of the debate.
