Please provide an instance where an exception to a firearms law for a favored group was later expanded to include the general public, especially on the federal level. I mean I guess there's a first time for everything, but Rep Babin isn't even making the claim that passing this bill will help lead to better things for everyone else in the future. I might even excuse his actions to some extent if he had a record of trying to get national reciprocity passed, or trying to do something like loosen some restrictions in 18 USC 930. But AFAIK he hasn't. He's just looking out for himself. Not much of a public servant.

I don't think many Dems will vote for this.

Right, just like happened with LEOSA.

...because he's just submitted a bill to legalize carry pretty much anywhere in the US, but only by congressmen and senators.

No bill number yet, but the bill text is on his website.
