SUMMARY AS OF:

Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act - Amends the federal criminal code to: (1)
allow licensed firearms importers, manufacturers, dealers, or collectors (licensees)
to sell or deliver any firearm (currently, rifles or shotguns) to a resident of a
state other than the state in which the licensee is located or temporarily located
if the licensee meets with the purchaser to complete the sale or delivery and the
transaction complies with the laws of the state in which the transfer is conducted
and the purchaser's state of residence; and (2) eliminate the requirement that a
licensee must conduct business at a gun show only in the state that is specified on
the licensee's license.

Provides that nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit the sale or other
disposition of a firearm or ammunition: (1) between licensed firearms dealers at any
location in any state; or (2) by a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer to an
unlicensed person at a temporary location in any state.

Amends definitions for federal firearms provisions to: (1) revise the definition of
a "member of the Armed Forces on active duty" to include a resident of the state in
which the member maintains legal residence or in which the member maintains a place
of abode from which he or she commutes each day to the permanent duty station; and
(2) provide that an officer or employee of the United States (other than a member of
the Armed Forces) stationed outside the United States for a period exceeding one
year is a resident of the state in which the member maintains legal residence.
