|
|
1 | | transferee's name by the

2 | | Firearm Concealed Carry Act. This paragraph (k) does not |
3 | | apply to the transfer of a firearm to a person who is |
4 | | exempt from the requirement of possessing a Firearm |
5 | | Owner's Identification Card under Section 2 of the Firearm |

|
|
1 | | converted. It may be inferred that
a person who possesses |
2 | | a firearm with knowledge that its serial number has
been |
3 | | removed or altered has knowledge that the firearm is |
4 | | stolen or converted. |
5 | | (B) Paragraph (h) of subsection (A) does not include |
6 | | firearms sold within 6
