S 961 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Protect Our Military Families’ 2nd Amendment Rights Act

This bill changes federal gun laws to directly benefit spouses of active-duty military members stationed overseas. It amends laws to explicitly allow spouses to receive firearms or ammunition from their service-member spouses at overseas duty stations (previously only the service member could). It also updates residency rules so spouses are treated as residents of the state where their service member is stationed for firearm law purposes, rather than their home state. These changes simplify legal firearm access for military families living abroad and take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.
