Just got professionally recommended as a naval aviator. I own a sidearm and hold a valid CCW. My folks live in a state that won't honor my CCW. I've seen conflicting advice on the internet re whether or not off-duty military officers are allowed to carry w/o a permit. Can off-duty officers carry whenever and wherever? Gun laws are usually a state-by-state item, so if such a right exists, I assume it's a federal law that pre-empts any local restrictions. Any advice? A statute would be great.

Well, there is the second amendment to the Constitution, however that seems to be very narrow in scope these days. When it comes down to it, as nittany mentioned, officer commissioned in the military are not police officers, in fact far from it.

Only in Arizona, where all citizens have that right.
Right, but I believe he was looking for a federal regulation or statute that would preempt or outweigh the state laws.
'ON-duty' military officers can't carry 'whenever and wherever' ... so what would lead you to suspect that being in an off-duty status might change that ... ???
Inside the wire -- you're obligated to adhere to federal laws and regulations.
Outside the wire -- you're obligated to adhere to state/local laws and regulations.
HR218 does not apply to military personnel, even military police. NCIS, etc. is a different story. Next!
And Vermont and Alaska (Easy to believe in Alaska, hard to believe in Vermont but true)
and in Virginia (openly)
Washington state:
CCW -- SHALL issue ... in spite of the annual efforts of the Libs/Progressives that inhabit the western part of the state to eliminate the state pre-emption law ...
OPEN CARRY -- completely legal. Stand by for 'problems' if you test your legal rights in Latte-Burbia ...
Da' Territory of Hawai'i:
CCW -- MAY issue ... and good luck gettin' one, Bruddah !! You need to be 'wealthy', 'connected', or 'related' ...
OPEN CARRY -- you must be kidding ... :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:
... But not to worry ... as all the drug dealers, pimps, gang-bangers, crack-heads, and most of da' Bruddahs carry -- 'cause they just want to -- so mebbe they'll 'help you out' if needed ...

Maryland "the free state" will be more than happy to issue you a CCW after you've been killed by a punk.
I swear, every day here sucks more of my will to live.
I think that the realization that what he thought the 2nd amendment meant is not in fact true is what has the young lad disturbed.
I may have used us my conjunction quota for the month the ^^^^this sentence.
