What this bill would do

This bill aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code. The primary purpose is to establish nationwide concealed carry reciprocity for certain members of the Armed Forces.

To qualify, a member must be on active duty and have completed a military firearms qualification within the last 12 months. Identification requirements would include a valid Department of Defense common access card and proof of firearms qualification.
