Bill Summary
To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to more comprehensively address the interstate transportation of firearms or ammunition. This bill amends the federal criminal code to revise provisions related to the interstate transportation of firearms and ammunition. An individual may transport a firearm between two places (e.g., states) where it is legal to possess, carry, or transport the firearm. During transport, the firearm must be unloaded and secured or securely stored. Additionally, an individual may transport ammunition, or a detachable magazine or feeding device, between two places where it is legal to possess, carry, or transport the ammunition, magazine, or feeding device. During transport, the ammunition, magazine, or feeding device must not be loaded into a firearm and must be securely stored. This bill prohibits the arrest or detention of an individual for a state or local firearm or ammunition violation unless there is probable cause to believe the individual failed to comply with the provisions of this bill.
AI Summary
This bill amends federal law to more comprehensively address the interstate transportation of firearms or ammunition. It allows individuals who are legally permitted to possess, carry, or transport firearms or ammunition to do so between locations where such possession is legal, as long as the firearms are unloaded and secured, and the ammunition, magazines, or feeding devices are not loaded into a firearm and are securely stored. The bill prohibits the arrest or detention of individuals for state or local firearms or ammunition violations, unless there is probable cause to believe they failed to comply with the bill's provisions. It also allows individuals who are deprived of their rights under this bill to bring civil actions for damages and other relief.
