| ||||||
4 | "Section 195. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | ||||||
5 | amended by changing Section 3 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (430 ILCS 65/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may | ||||||
8 | knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | ||||||
9 | firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | ||||||
10 | this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays a | ||||||
11 | currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card which has | ||||||
12 | previously been issued in his name by the
Department of State | ||||||
13 | Police under the provisions of this Act. In addition,
all | ||||||
14 | firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by federally licensed | ||||||
15 | firearm dealers are subject
to Section 3.1. | ||||||
16 | (a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that | ||||||
2 | person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or | ||||||
3 | transferring the firearm, request the Department of State | ||||||
4 | Police to conduct a background check on the prospective | ||||||
5 | recipient of the firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
| ||||||
6 | (b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to | ||||||
7 | be
transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a | ||||||
8 | record of such transfer for a period
of 10 years from the date | ||||||
9 | of transfer. Such record shall contain the date
of the | ||||||
10 | transfer; the description, serial number or other information
| ||||||
11 | identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | ||||||
12 | is available; and, if the
transfer was completed within this | ||||||
13 | State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card | ||||||
14 | number. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall contain | ||||||
15 | the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On demand | ||||||
16 | of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for inspection | ||||||
17 | such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale took place at | ||||||
18 | a gun show, the record shall include the unique identification | ||||||
19 | number. Failure to record the unique identification number is a | ||||||
20 | petty offense.
| ||||||
21 | (b-1) The transferor of a firearm, stun gun, or taser must | ||||||
22 | furnish a record of the transfer, within 10 days of the | ||||||
23 | transfer, to the Department of State Police. The transferee | ||||||
24 | must furnish a record of the transfer and a copy of his or her | ||||||
25 | valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card to the Department of | ||||||
26 | State Police within 10 days of the transfer. The Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State Police must maintain the record for a period of 10 years. | ||||||
2 | (b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person | ||||||
3 | within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States | ||||||
4 | mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law | ||||||
5 | to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within | ||||||
6 | or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a | ||||||
7 | copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
8 | and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois | ||||||
9 | State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the | ||||||
10 | ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped only to an address on | ||||||
11 | either of those 2 documents. | ||||||
12 | (c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer | ||||||
13 | of firearm
ammunition shall not apply to those persons | ||||||
14 | specified in paragraph (b) of
Section 2 of this Act. | ||||||
