AI Summary
This bill, the Traveler's Gun Rights Act, aims to amend the federal law (Chapter 44 of Title 18, United States Code) to define the terms "State of residence" and "resident" for the purposes of purchasing and possessing firearms. The bill specifies that a person's "State of residence" can be the state where they reside, the state where an active duty military member's permanent duty station is located or where they maintain a place of abode, or the state where a person maintains a private mailbox or post office box if they do not have a physical residence in any state. The bill also requires that a firearms transfer record include the transferee's address, which could be the address of their residence or a private mailbox or post office box if they do not have a physical residence.
