Bill > HR2060

This bill, known as the "Traveler's Gun Rights Act", amends federal law to provide clear definitions for the terms "State of residence" and "resident" in the context of firearm regulations. The bill establishes that a person's state of residence can be: the state where they actually reside, the state where an active-duty military member is stationed or maintains a place of abode, or the state where an individual without a physical residence maintains a mailbox. For determining residence, the bill specifies that a person is considered a resident of a state if they are present with the intention of making a home there, and can be a resident of multiple states simultaneously if they maintain homes in different locations. Additionally, the bill modifies requirements for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to allow for alternative address documentation for firearm transfers, such as a private mailbox address for individuals without a physical residence. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and clarity in defining residency for legal purposes related to firearms.
