Sparta waiting period?

[sctman800]

IIRC and sometimes that is not the case so I am wondering about the new 72 hour waiting period affecting Sparta. Can't remember for sure the exact name because I am not involved in that sort of shooting sport so need help. There is a national trap shooting deal held there every year and it seems like there was an exception for the 24 hour waiting period so contestants there could trade and sell their high dollar shotguns without a waiting period. Am I correct about the exception and is it affected by this bill? Thanks, Jim.

Wording in new law does not seem to impact Sparta (but IANAL)

 

(3) (blank); the sale of a firearm to a

nonresident of Illinois while at a firearm showing or

display recognized by the Illinois Department of State

Police; (4) the sale of a firearm to a dealer licensed as a

federal firearms dealer under Section 923 of the federal

Gun Control Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. 923); or (5) the

transfer or sale of any rifle, shotgun, or other long gun

to a resident registered competitor or attendee or

non-resident registered competitor or attendee by any

dealer licensed as a federal firearms dealer under Section

923 of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 at competitive

shooting events held at the World Shooting Complex

sanctioned by a national governing body. For purposes of

transfers or sales under subparagraph (5) of this paragraph

(g), the Department of Natural Resources shall give notice

to the Department of State Police at least 30 calendar days

prior to any competitive shooting events at the World

Shooting Complex sanctioned by a national governing body.

The notification shall be made on a form prescribed by the

Department of State Police. The sanctioning body shall

provide a list of all registered competitors and attendees

Department of State Police must destroy the list of

registered competitors and attendees no later than 30 days

after the date of the event. Nothing in this paragraph (g)

relieves a federally licensed firearm dealer from the

requirements of conducting a NICS background check through

the Illinois Point of Contact under 18 U.S.C. 922(t). For

purposes of this paragraph (g), "application" means when

the buyer and seller reach an agreement to purchase a

firearm. For purposes of this paragraph (g), "national
