Washington State to Revoke Reciprocal Gun Rights Due to Anti-Military Policy

Washington State to Revoke Reciprocal Gun Rights Due to Anti-Military Policy

Florida – -(Ammoland.com)- Last week Florida Governor Rick Scott signed into law a bill that now allows our Current Troops and Honorably Discharged Veterans to apply for a Concealed Carry License regardless of their age.

Because Florida now allows Military Members and Honorably Discharged Veterans under the age of 21 to apply for a Concealed Carry License, the State of Washington is poised to revoke reciprocal recognition of all Concealed Carry Licenses from Florida.

Washington has also refused to respect the right of all Texans to bear arms in their state because Texas also will issue Concealed Carry Licenses to our adult troops under 21.

As a result of this blatantly anti-military/anti-veteran discrimination, Florida will be forced to refuse to recognize Washington State’s Concealed Carry Licenses until the Washington Legislature comes to its senses.

Urge your Washington State Legislators to respect our troops, the rights of all Floridians and Texans, and licensed Washingtonians who travel outside the state.

Remarkable! Its in fact, an awesome piece of writing, I have got a much clearer idea from this post.

What makes this particularly offensive is the fact that many of these elected officials surround themselves with bodyguards (at taxpayer expense) and conceal-carry themselves, due to the 'importance' of their position, yet are adamant of denying that same right to private citizens unfortunate enough to be living within their sphere of influence. My question is: what makes their life more important and worthy of protecting compared to mine? That is something ALL voters should be asking.

These are some really screwed up politicians! Do they have any brains at all?

This is *exactly* the problem with letting the statists think they can "license" a right.

I say, "Scroom". Wanna carry?

As an active duty military member stationed in WA w/ a FL Concealed Weapon Permit, this is disturbing. However, they allow open carry here, so I guess I'd better get ready to be given a hard time for trying to protect myself and my family.

It doesn't make sense if they are old enough to join and fight then they should be allowed to carry concealed I would even allow them to drink alcohol soldiers gain alot of maturity

bob

this is deplorable!they should lick the boots our our serving military and beg for forgiveness!

This is just horrible. The politicians have no problem handing them guns to fight in war to protect their sorry asses, but to protect themselves is a problem! Just not right!
