To amend title 18, United States Code, to establish nationwide concealed carry reciprocity for certain members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The measure amends federal law so that qualified active‑duty members of the Armed Forces can carry concealed firearms across all states, just like qualified law‑enforcement officers. To qualify, a service member must have completed a military firearms qualification within the past year and present a DoD common access card plus proof of that qualification. This creates uniform rules for service members traveling between states.
