| 5 | | identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | 6 | | is available; and, if the

| 15 | | principal objective of livelihood and profit, but does not | 16 | | include a person who
makes occasional repairs of firearms | 17 | | or who occasionally fits special barrels,

| 19 | | "With the principal objective of livelihood and | 20 | | profit" means that the
intent
underlying the sale or | 21 | | disposition of firearms is predominantly one of
obtaining | 22 | | livelihood and pecuniary gain, as opposed to other intents, | 23 | | such as

profit shall not be required | 25 | | as to a person who engages in the regular and
repetitive | 26 | | purchase and disposition of firearms for criminal purposes |

This paragraph (k) does | 10 | | not apply to the transfer of a firearm to a person who is | 11 | | exempt from the requirement of possessing a Firearm Owner's | 12 | | Identification Card under Section 2 of the Firearm Owners | 13 | | Identification Card Act. For the purposes of this Section, | 14 | | a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card | 15 | | means (i) a Firearm Owner's Identification Card that has | 16 | | not expired or (ii) an approval number issued in accordance | 17 | | with subsection (a-10) of subsection 3 or Section 3.1 of | 18 | | the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act shall be proof | 19 | | that the Firearm Owner's Identification Card was valid. | 20 | | (1) In addition to the other requirements of this | 21 | | paragraph (k), all persons who are not federally | 22 | | licensed firearms dealers must also have complied with | 23 | | subsection (a-10) of Section 3 of the Firearm Owners | 24 | | Identification Card Act by determining the validity of | 25 | | a purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card. | 26 | | (2) All sellers or transferors who have complied |

being entitled to the possession of a firearm, | 8 | | delivers the
firearm, knowing it to have been stolen or | 9 | | converted. It may be inferred that
a person who possesses a | 10 | | firearm with knowledge that its serial number has
been | 11 | | removed or altered has knowledge that the firearm is stolen | 12 | | or converted. | 13 | | (B) Paragraph (h) of subsection (A) does not include | 14 | | firearms sold within 6
months after enactment of Public
Act | 15 | | 78-355 (approved August 21, 1973, effective October 1, 1973), | 16 | | nor is any
firearm legally owned or
possessed by any citizen or | 17 | | purchased by any citizen within 6 months after the
enactment of | 18 | | Public Act 78-355 subject
to confiscation or seizure under the | 19 | | provisions of that Public Act. Nothing in
Public Act 78-355 | 20 | | shall be construed to prohibit the gift or trade of
any firearm | 21 | | if that firearm was legally held or acquired within 6 months | 22 | | after
the enactment of that Public Act.
