AI Summary
This bill, known as the Choosing Our Own Lives Over Fast Firearms Act or the COOL OFF Act, proposes to establish a 3-business day waiting period before a person may receive a handgun, with certain exceptions. The bill amends Section 922 of Title 18, United States Code, to make it unlawful for a person not licensed as a firearms dealer to receive a handgun from another unlicensed person unless at least 3 business days have elapsed since the recipient last offered to take possession of the handgun. The bill provides exceptions to this waiting period, such as for law enforcement officers, armed security professionals, members of the armed forces, and certain temporary transfers between family members or for lawful purposes like target shooting or hunting. The bill also imposes penalties for violations of this new requirement.
