Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal law so that certain active-duty members of the Armed Forces could carry a concealed firearm nationwide, under the same section of law that already allows qualified law enforcement officers to do so. To qualify, a service member would need to be on active duty and have completed a military firearms qualification within the past 12 months. The member would need to carry a valid Department of Defense common access card and documentary proof of a valid military firearms qualification.
