4 | exempt from the requirement of possessing a Firearm | ||||||
5 | Owner's Identification Card under Section 2 of the Firearm | ||||||
6 | Owners Identification Card Act. For the purposes of this | ||||||

15 | subsection (a-10) of Section 3 of the Firearm Owners | ||||||
16 | Identification Card Act by determining the validity of | ||||||
17 | a purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card. | ||||||
18 | (2) All sellers or transferors who have complied | ||||||
19 | with the requirements of subparagraph (1) of this | ||||||
20 | paragraph (k) shall not be liable for damages in any | ||||||
21 | civil action arising from the use or misuse by the | ||||||

3 | removed or altered has knowledge that the firearm is | ||||||
4 | stolen or converted. | ||||||

10 | of Public Act 78-355 subject

11 | the provisions of that Public Act. Nothing in
Public Act | ||||||
12 | 78-355 shall be construed to prohibit the gift or trade of

13 | firearm if that firearm was legally held or acquired within 6 | ||||||
14 | months after
the enactment of that Public Act.
