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.

These changes would apply to actions after a 6-month delay from enactment.
