Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act

This bill would add former special operations service members, called "qualified special operators," to the federal law that lets qualified retired law enforcement officers carry concealed firearms across state lines. To qualify, a person must have been selected for and held a special operations job designation as defined by U.S. Special Operations Command. They would have to meet state firearms qualification standards at their own expense each year, complete a use-of-force training course certified by the Attorney General, keep an honorable discharge, and remain legally allowed to own a firearm. The Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs would issue photo ID cards to eligible veterans within 180 days. Until then, service documents would be accepted as proof.
