Bill Summary
Antique firearms. Provides that certain requirements regarding the sale, rental, trade, or transfer of a handgun do not apply to an item defined as an antique firearm.
AI Summary
This bill amends Indiana law concerning the sale, rental, trade, or transfer of handguns by dealers. Specifically, it exempts items defined as "antique firearms" from certain requirements, such as obtaining a completed Form 4473 from the buyer and contacting the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for a background check. The definition of an antique firearm is based on federal law, specifically 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(16). This change means that dealers will no longer need to follow these specific procedures when transferring an antique firearm.
