Legislative Progress
This bill faces a difficult path because it overrides state gun laws, which is a very controversial issue in Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would allow active duty military members to carry concealed guns in any state. It would create a nationwide rule that overrides different state laws.
- To qualify, a person must be currently serving in the military. They must also show they passed a military firearms test in the last 12 months.
- Service members would need to carry their military ID and proof of their training. These documents would act as a national concealed carry permit.
- This change would give military members the same rights as law enforcement officers. Currently, police are the only group allowed to carry concealed weapons across state lines this way.
