AI Summary

Specifically, it clarifies that an individual's "State of residence" can be the state where their permanent military duty station is located, the state where they maintain a place of abode from which they commute to their duty station, or the state where they maintain a private mailbox or post office box if they do not have a physical residence in any state. The bill also requires the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to include the address of the transferee's residence or their private mailbox/post office box if they do not have a physical residence.
