military ccp/cwp question

[aosailor]

just OC! no permit needed, no worries about reciprocity lol

Never ask a LEO or LEO agency for legal advice. If they don't want you to carry a gun, they will tell you it is illegal and hope you never seek to determine what the real statute says. How many arrests are tossed out of court for exactly the same reason?

As a side note, no permit/license is required to carry concealed by an active duty service member in Georgia.

That's true in a lot of states but many require you be in uniform.

It's against the uniform regulations to carry a personal concealed firearm while in uniform. What you are thinking about in state laws are exceptions for military members while performing their duties. Those exceptions are for military persons carrying their issued weapons. Very seldom are military members issued weapons, anymore, to walk around town with. There is more to the "in the performance of duties" exception than just wearing the uniform.

For example, Washington's exception:

RCW 9.41.060
Exceptions to restrictions on carrying firearms.

The provisions of RCW 9.41.050 shall not apply to:
(1) Marshals, sheriffs, prison or jail wardens or their deputies, or other law enforcement officers of this state or another state;
(2) Members of the armed forces of the United States or of the national guard or organized reserves, when on duty;
