Protect Our Military Families’ 2nd Amendment Rights Act

United States119th CongressHR-2070House of Representatives
Updated: Mar 11, 2025

Summary

This bill aims to extend specific federal firearms rights to spouses of active duty Armed Forces members, aligning their entitlements with those of the service members. It amends chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to allow spouses to receive firearms at the location of any duty station, including those outside the United States, under the same conditions as the military member. Additionally, the legislation redefines residency for federal firearms laws to include spouses. For these purposes, a spouse's residency would be determined by their legal residence, the state where the member's permanent duty station is located, or the state from which the member commutes to that station. These changes ensure military families have consistent rights regarding firearm acquisition, with the amendments applying to conduct engaged in after a six-month period following the bill's enactment.
