Bill > S966

This bill, known as the "Traveler's Gun Rights Act", amends federal law to provide clear definitions for "State of residence" and "resident" in the context of firearms regulations. The bill defines "State of residence" as the state where an individual lives, with special provisions for active duty military members (who can claim residence in the state of their permanent duty station or where they maintain a daily commuting address) and individuals without a physical residence (who can claim residence where they maintain a mailbox). The definition clarifies that a person can be considered a resident of multiple states if they maintain homes in more than one state. For identification purposes in background checks, the bill now requires firearm transfer documentation to include either a residential address or a private mailbox/post office box address for individuals without a physical residence. These definitions are intended to provide more precise guidelines for determining an individual's legal residence when purchasing or transferring firearms, particularly for people with complex living situations like military personnel or frequent travelers.
