Easier firearm access for military families
If enacted, military spouses could receive a firearm or ammo at a member’s overseas duty station, under the same rules as the member. The bill would also treat active-duty members and spouses as residents in up to three places for federal gun rules. Those are your legal home state, the state of the member’s permanent duty station, and the state where the member keeps a home and commutes to work. These changes would apply to actions after a 6-month delay from enactment.
