It would take Congress to make such a law and they have not yet for CCW's. But I have a permit that is valid in all 50 states thanks to Congress. But you just can't apply for it, you have to work for it.
I understand and certainly appreciate your time as a police officer but I wonder why Congress has not bestowed that same privilege on ex-military.
In addition to being a retired cop I'm also ex-military. And my job in the military actually required me to carry a gun at times as I was a loadmaster on a cargo plane. So the military made me go out once a year and shoot 18 rounds through a 2 inch revolver. So my military firearms training consisted of shooting 50 .22 caliber rounds through a modified M-16 in Basic training, and once a year shooting 18 rounds through a revolver. So for the six years I was in the Air Force I shot 158 rounds of ammo. When I was a cop we would shoot every 3 months and would shoot that many rounds at one session.
Now I realize a lot of different jobs in the military required a lot more firearms training, but there were also jobs that required less. So I doubt you'll see anything like a nationwide ccw for military like cops get.
