CCW with a valid Mil ID

I've been told by several people that my Military ID will render me able to get a CCW despite only being 19 years old. Is there any validity to this? If there is, the gun show is coming to my town in a few weeks and I would like to take the course. I've looked on packing.org and I couldn't find anything solid. It just notes that in the state of Florida you have to be 21 for the CCW.
Thanks

I found that in Georgia, a Mil Id is a CCW, but that seems to be the only state. I'll see if I can give the office a call and hear them out about it. I would like to be able to carry my KA-BAR around for protection.

It look as if yes, in FL you do need a license to carry it concealed.
I just called the office that coordinates it in Tallahassee and they confirmed even with a mil id I would still have to be 21 for the CCW to carry my knife. Thanks for the help.
Well, that sucks. Bummer that you're out of luck on this.
What about getting a signed notarized letter from a parent or gaurdian stating that they are giving you the right to carry concealed ?
Right, while in the military. Nice one [:D]
I think if a guy or gal is old enough to be in the military they should have all the rights and previlages of someone over21. That means they can drink a beer and carry a concealed weapon on vote
This may be a little off topic but here goes.

Right, maybe even die for their country with their parents consent? what an outrageous idea!
Did you mean that if someone is IN the military? That might have some merit. But there is an enormous constitutional equal protection problem........
Best,

Hey Russian
I didn't make the laws and I am not happy about them either. It is either comply with the way it is or break the law and pay the consequences. When I turned 18 years old, the only way I could get a pistol permit was by notarized letter from a parent or guardian, so I did it. I wanted a pistol and would do anything to get one. That was 25 years ago.... I would do it again in a minute. I think it is crap that an 18 year old soldier can go to fight for their country, but can't get a cold beer. What is wrong with those asinine politicians ?
We should get some rights for our training though. As police officers can't buy a handgun if their not 21 in most states, we cannot either, nor carry them. It seems to be an insult to our training, but changing the laws right now would be counter productive you know compared to what is going on in the world.
Being in the military, I personally feel the laws work well. The last thing we want is to give people an incentive to join the military for the wrong reason. I haven't found anyone who has problems getting alcohol as we all know each other so intricately. I just feel that if we opened doors to new recruits saying you could drink right away, it would attract the wrong crowd.

Some people already join the military for all wrong reasons. And I don't think gun control laws work well, designed well or exist for right reasons.
