Traveler’s Gun Rights Act For Active-Duty Military And RV-ers
Representative Dusty Johnson has re-introduced the Traveler’s Gun Rights Act, a bill attending to a Second Amendment issue constraining firearms rights of those who do not use a permanent physical address, such as many active-duty military personnel and those who live and travel via RV. Companion legislation currently in the Senate is being led by Senator Mike Rounds, and both of these gentlemen are representatives of South Dakota, the state I like to call home and one that still represents strong American values and traditions.
Johnson’s Traveler’s Gun Rights Act seeks to correct the firearms purchasing process and strengthen Second Amendment rights by relieving prejudice against those who work and live as travelers. Current ATF regulations unduly restrict law-abiding RV-ers, active-duty military, military spouses, and others who rely on a P.O. Box as their primary mailing address from obtaining a firearm, many of whom use these alternate addresses on their driver’s licenses. The legislation passed the House Judiciary Committee in January 2024, and Johnson is steadfast in his effort to see it through.
