Bill > HCR2019

This resolution, enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona, amends existing law to require that all firearm sales or transfers be facilitated by a licensed firearms dealer, meaning that either the seller or buyer must be a licensed dealer, or a licensed dealer must oversee the transaction. If neither party is a licensed dealer, they must use a licensed dealer to conduct the sale or transfer, during which the dealer will retain possession of the firearm, perform a background check on the purchaser or transferee using federal and state laws, and comply with all legal requirements before transferring the firearm. If the transaction is prohibited, the firearm will be returned to the seller after a background check, or if that's not possible, delivered to law enforcement within twenty-four hours. Licensed dealers can charge a fee of up to $20 for facilitating these transfers. The resolution outlines several exceptions, including transfers involving law enforcement, military personnel, gunsmiths for repair, common carriers, temporary loans for target shooting or hunting under specific conditions, firearms acquired by operation of law due to death, antique firearms, bona fide gifts between immediate family members, and temporary transfers to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm. Violating this section is classified as a class 5 felony.
