protected classes, service members, veterans....
As a US military veteran and a former MP, I can honestly say that its good for active duty & reserve/national guard members to have certain laws or protections.
A regular citizen needs to understand the conditions or special considerations a US armed forces member may have. If they are stationed in South Korea or Japan, return to CONUS on leave or TDY(temp duty) they might need a DL or new hunting permit or fishing license or want to carry a firearm for protection.
It wouldn't bother me at all if those laws or statutes were approved.
I recall a gun magazine item from about 3/4 years ago that explained how 2 US Army helicopter pilots were car-jacked & robbed at gunpoint near Fort Rucker AL.
If these guys were armed, things may have been different.
BTW; President Obama signed into law a updated LEOSA version in 2010 that now includes some US service members(USAF Office of Special Investigations, US Army CIDC agents, NCIS, US Coast Guard, etc).
