You will not have to worry about being sued by the families of criminals who try to attack you because there will be no duty to retreat before using deadly force, if the use of deadly force is an appropriate response to the action taken against you (threat of severe harm, rape, death, etc.)

the only issue I have with your requirements is the 'other than honorable discharge'. Lots of ex military have been discharged with general discharges that are not honorable, nor are they dishonorable. If you feel that a discharge requirement should be met, might I suggest that a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge would then disqualify you from carrying, but not owning for your home. Unless of course those discharges are the results of a felony.
