I understand how or why disabled veterans would want to carry a concealed weapon(Im a US military veteran too).
My point is that if you feel you have mood swings, anger mgmt issues, depression etc related to your VA status, you shouldn't pack a gun.
I know many OEF & OIF veterans have mental health or psyicatric issues that are service connected. I've seen news reports of veterans who describe bouts of anger or aggressive thoughts then used therapy(like service animals) or medication to help them.
You can make that choice but be fully aware, you are responsible for your statements & actions when you carry a firearm.
