National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

I don't mind the 'thank you for your service' cliche - in most cases the folks that say it are being sincere. In some cases, it is EXACTLY like that Larry David clip - they say it because they think they are supposed to and at heart they could care less.
I'm not offended either way. Like many others have already stated, if somebody "thanks me" I just smile and say "thank YOU" right back to them.

I don't schedule my shopping around which businesses do or don't offer military discounts - I don't decide which shitty neighborhood bar and grill I'm going to eat at based on Veterans Day food discounts.

I simply, don't care. What I do care about is watching loud, flashy, obnoxious, "stereotypical - "VetBros" - trading on "OUR" collective reputation and sacrifices for their own gain. I don't care if it's trying to get 10% off on quarter inch plywood, a free appetizer sized plate of chicken wing, or "LIKES" for the bullshit they post on social media.

Here is the beauty of it all - even the most obvious, stereotypical, cringy, exploitive VetBro is free to do as they see fit.
Best wishes - I hope their book sells a truckload of copies - I probably wont buy it, but, C'est la Vie - I hope their EweToob channels get millions followers - I probably wont subscribe - but, I'm just an insignificant blip in the social media VetBro space - I hope CNN finally accepts their offer to be a "Military Contributor" - not that it matters to me because I dont watch CNN.

I'm in - lets just not pretend that the word "exploitive" and "honorable service" both fit in the same profile description.
 
Someday just for fun, I want to be seen as "that guy" who pulls up to and parks in a veteran parking spot with a door that unrolls a red carpet so I can be thanked for my service while rolling up at an Applebees for my free vet meal.
 
I'd like to know how he was identified as such, because from what I am seeing so far he wasn't a threat and last I knew it was legal to carry concealed in Florida so long as he was of legal age to own a gun.

There's a bit more to it than that. You have to meet the same criteria as a CWL holder, you just aren't required to have the CWL.

Which of those did he not meet?

Edit: Interesting that it says Real ID. I wonder if a TSA approved substitute can be used for out of state visitors like a CAC Card, DD Form 2 ID's. VA card, US Passport, etc.

My state doesn't require a Real ID and will issue a CCP without having it. But you have to have one of the above and a state ID in order to apply for it.

I don't know or care. I was addressing your comment directly, not the video because we don't know the guy's life story or eligibility.

So we're clear, my point is yes, you can carry in FL, provided you meet the same standards as those for a CWL. Even Constitutional carry has restrictions, not just "he's of legal age."
