Bill > HR1691

This bill, called the "Second Amendment Protection Act", has several key provisions: 1. It directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue guidance identifying firearms businesses (licensed manufacturers and dealers) as essential businesses during national emergencies or major disasters, ensuring they can remain open. 2. It amends federal law to allow licensed firearms dealers to conduct sales and transfers of firearms across state lines, not just within the state where the dealer is licensed. 3. It allows members of the armed forces and their spouses to be considered residents of the state where they maintain legal residence, their permanent duty station, or where they have a place of abode, for the purpose of purchasing firearms. 4. It establishes reciprocity for the carrying of concealed firearms, allowing individuals with valid state-issued concealed carry permits to legally possess and carry concealed handguns in any state that either issues such permits or allows concealed carry for lawful purposes. 5. It provides a new federal tax credit of up to $100 for individuals who purchase firearm safety storage devices or complete certified firearm safety courses.
