The bill also makes various changes to federal firearms laws, including

  • to remove certain restrictions on interstate firearms transactions,
  • to establish a statutory framework to regulate the carry or possession of concealed firearms across state lines, and
  • to establish a tax credit for individuals for certain firearm safety expenditures (e.g., amounts paid to attend a firearm safety course).
