| 2026-04-20 |
| [Breitbart] Or you can come to Texas. Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) is pushing legislation that would grant federal concealed carry authority to past and current members of military special forces. The legislation is titled the “Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act.” Newsweek reported Friday that, via the Act, “Eligible veterans and active-duty personnel would be granted nationwide concealed-carry privileges, effectively overriding state-level restrictions that can differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another.” Upon introducing the legislation, Harrigan said, “Federal law already trusts retired police officers to carry concealed nationwide. That makes sense. But it makes no sense that an active or retired SEAL or Green Beret, someone who spent a career mastering firearms under the most demanding conditions in the world, has no equivalent recognition under federal law. This bill fixes that.” Related: Pat Harrigan 09/09/2025 NC Democrat ''Leaders'' Belatedly Weigh in on Fatal Stabbing, Instantly Make Everything Worse Pat Harrigan 04/05/2025 Chinese-owned GNC stores operating on US military bases spark national security concerns Pat Harrigan 01/24/2025 Trump visits Asheville, NC and Los Angeles |
