AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Choosing Our Own Lives Over Fast Firearms Act" or the "COOL OFF Act," proposes a 3-day waiting period before a person can receive a handgun, with certain exceptions. The exceptions include transfers to law enforcement, armed security personnel, or members of the armed forces acting within the scope of their duties, as well as temporary transfers between family members or for lawful purposes such as target shooting or hunting. The bill amends the current law in Title 18 of the United States Code to include these provisions, and the amendments would apply to conduct after a 90-day period from the date of enactment.
