Some states like mine offer firearms licenses/carry permits to active duty & reserve service members(US Coast Guard, US Merchant Marines, etc) if they are under 21 years old.
That seems fair. Some young adults are immature & not really able to carry a loaded weapon(see the young USMC Sgt in the recent Camp Pendelton incident) but there are service members who could benefit from a special law or statue.

I'd support it but with the anti-gun/anti 2A mindset in most CONUS military bases I doubt many young active duty service members would do it.
