To amend title 18, United States Code, to establish nationwide concealed carry reciprocity for certain members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to amend title 18, United States Code, specifically section 926B, to expand nationwide concealed carry reciprocity. It extends the existing provisions, which currently apply to qualified law enforcement officers, to include certain active duty members of the Armed Forces . A "qualified member of the Armed Forces" is defined as an individual currently serving on active duty who has successfully completed a military firearms qualification within the preceding 12 months. To exercise this privilege, these members would need to carry a valid Department of Defense common access card and documentary proof of their military firearms qualification. This amendment aims to grant eligible service members the ability to carry concealed firearms across state lines, mirroring the rights afforded to qualified law enforcement personnel.
