Bill Summary
Protect Our Military Families' 2nd Amendment Rights Act This bill amends the federal criminal code to allow a licensed gun dealer, importer, or manufacturer to sell or ship a firearm to the spouse of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty. (Current law already allows a licensed dealer, importer, or manufacturer to sell a firearm to a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty.) The bill also specifies that, for purposes of federal firearms laws, a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty, or his or her spouse, is a resident of the state in which: (1) the member or spouse maintains legal residence, (2) the permanent duty station of the member is located, and (3) the member maintains a home from which he or she commutes to the permanent duty station.
AI Summary
This bill amends federal law to allow a licensed gun dealer, importer, or manufacturer to sell or ship a firearm to the spouse of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty, in addition to the member themselves. It also specifies that for the purposes of federal firearms laws, a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty or their spouse is considered a resident of the state in which the member maintains legal residence, the state where their permanent duty station is located, and the state where they maintain a home from which they commute to their duty station. These changes would take effect 6 months after the bill's enactment.
