Armory Project Expansion Act of 2024
HR 10487, the Armory Project Expansion Act of 2024, creates a three-year pilot program allowing veterans with PTSD-related depression or suicidal thoughts to temporarily store firearms with licensed dealers through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The program, limited to up to five states, requires the VA to use existing research from its Armory Project pilot and includes liability protection for participating dealers. Veterans must voluntarily elect to participate, and the VA must submit a final report to Congress after the pilot ends, including recommendations based on results. This bill directly affects veterans experiencing specific mental health challenges, focusing on temporary firearm storage as a safety measure.
