Summary of Bill HR 2060

Bill 119 HR 2060 aims to make changes to chapter 44 of title 18 in the United States Code.

In addition to defining these terms, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to firearms laws. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but could include measures to enhance gun safety, regulate the sale and transfer of firearms, or address other issues related to firearms ownership and use. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2060 seeks to provide clarity and consistency in determining an individual's legal residence for the purposes of firearms laws, while also addressing other related issues in the realm of gun regulation.

Congressional Summary of HR 2060

Traveler's Gun Rights Act

This bill broadens the scope of allowable firearms transactions involving active duty servicemembers and their spouses and individuals who do not have a residence in any state.

Currently, federal firearms laws generally prohibit a federal firearms licensee (e.g., a gun dealer) from selling or delivering a firearm to an individual whose state of residence is different than the state where the licensee's place of business is located.

This bill defines the term state of residence as the state in which an individual is present with an intention of making a home.

In the case of an individual who does not have a physical residence in any state, the term state of residence means the address of the individual's private mailbox or post office box.

In the case of a member of the Armed Forces on active duty, or his or her spouse, the term state of residence means (1) the state in which the member's permanent duty station is located, and (2) the state where the member maintains a place of abode from which he or she commutes to the permanent duty station.
