disqualify a | ||||||
| 11 | person from obtaining or require revocation of a currently
| ||||||
| 12 | valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. | ||||||
| 13 | (c) If receipt of a firearm would not violate Section 24-3 | ||||||
| 14 | of the Criminal Code of 2012, federal law, or this Act the | ||||||
| 15 | Department of State Police shall: | ||||||
| 16 | (1) assign a unique identification number to the | ||||||
