45superman Posted March 2, 2009 at 04:11 AM Posted March 2, 2009 at 04:11 AM Synopsis As IntroducedCreates the Handgun Dealer Licensing Act. Provides for the regulation of handgun dealers through licensure by the Department of State Police. Provides that no person may sell or otherwise transfer, expose for sale or transfer, or have in his or her possession with the intent to sell or transfer any concealable firearm without being licensed under the Act. Provides, however, that the prohibition does not apply to a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of concealable firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or as a hobby, or who sells all or part of his or her personal collection of firearms. Sets forth provisions concerning application, fees, duration of licensure, license retention requirements, submissions to the Department, penalties, revocation, and suspension. Grants rulemaking authority to the Department and provides that for the purpose of determining compliance with the Act, the Act may be enforced by any municipality in which a licensee is located or, if a licensee is not located in a municipality, by the county in which a licensee is located. http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp...mp;SessionID=76
lordjoker1977 Posted March 2, 2009 at 11:47 AM Posted March 2, 2009 at 11:47 AM Wow, sorry 45, I missed this one.
Buzzard Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:08 PM Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:08 PM This bill is worthless even beyond it's lame attempt to control illegal handgun purchases. It has a backdoor written into it you can drive a truck through! the prohibition does not apply to a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of concealable firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or as a hobby, or who sells all or part of his or her personal collection of firearms.What is Senator Harmon thinking? That criminals will be forced to purchase this license and then voluntarily not use the loophole he wrote into it?? It's foolish and absurd!!
45superman Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:19 PM Author Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:19 PM Wow, sorry 45, I missed this one. Actually, I wasn't sure if you had missed it, or if you had told me, but I forgot to do anything about it. Anyway, Molly caught it, and we have a lesson in how easy it is to miss these things. We need to be VERY careful.
Molly B. Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:31 PM Posted March 2, 2009 at 01:31 PM The task is monumental and even the experts miss one here and there - that's why we need as many pairs of eyes on these things as we can get - It takes teamwork, and I have to say we have a terrific team here!! Molly B.

TTIN Posted March 2, 2009 at 03:22 PM Posted March 2, 2009 at 03:22 PM I don't get it.All FFL's are already Federally Licensed,why the state registration? Unless this bill is meant to provide that database they're looking for.
