Bill overview
This bill, the Traveler's Gun Rights Act, changes how federal law defines ‘State of residence’ and ‘resident’ for the purposes of firearm regulations. Specifically, it allows active-duty military personnel to consider their permanent duty station as their state of residence, and it provides a way for individuals without a physical residence in any state to use a private mailbox or post office box as their address when obtaining a firearm. The bill also modifies the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to allow for the use of a private mailbox or post office box address instead of a physical residence address when required.
