Here's what I want you to do - I want you to imagine that you have a bunch of folks who volunteer for the regular army, national guard, reserve, what have you. Every one of them gets fingerprinted, national agency checked, annually drug tested, annually checked on their proficiency at arms, annually checked for medical readiness, annually checked for HIV, annually checked for physical fitness. In some cases they're put in charge of armed aircraft, armed vehicles, machineguns - all kinds of gee whiz shite to not only directly defend us, but to also go out there, close with and destroy the enemy - not sanctioned by the civilian authority mind you, but ORDERED by the civilian authority.

And now - you want those folks to come to the state with a check for the right to conceal a pistol on their person to defend themselves or their families out and about in public?

Laughably absurd on its face. But, go ahead and think of this in the same way you do folks down at the Waffle House giving guys in uniform a breakfast combo for half price.
