Bill Summary

This bill establishes a waiting period for the delivery of a firearm.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a 3-day waiting period for the delivery of a firearm, with certain exceptions. The bill defines key terms like "licensed importer," "licensed manufacturer," "licensed dealer," and "licensed collector" as used in the federal law (18 U.S.C. section 921). It requires firearm sellers to make their sales records available for inspection by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The waiting period does not apply in certain circumstances, such as when purchasing a rifle or shotgun after completing a hunter education course, or when the purchaser is a law enforcement officer or active military member, or has obtained a restraining order or expressed a reasonable fear for their personal safety. Violations of the law would be a class B felony.
