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.
