Traveler's Gun Rights Act

New gun residency and ID rules

If enacted, the bill would change how federal law counts your State of residence for firearms rules. It would add three ways to be a resident of a State. You would be a resident if you live there and intend to make it your home. Active duty military members and their spouses would be residents of their duty station State. They would also be residents of any State where they keep a place they commute from daily. People without a physical home would be residents of the State with their private mailbox or PO box. The bill would also change the information submitted for firearm background checks. Transferee records would need a photo and either a home address or a mailbox/PO box address. If enacted, this could help some service members and people without fixed homes follow federal firearm rules. It could also add paperwork for buyers and dealers and raise privacy concerns.
