unless the receipt of multiple  | 
| 10 |  | handguns is exempted under subsection (c) or
(d) of Section  | 
| 11 |  | 24-3.1A. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of  | 
| 12 |  | this
subsection that the transferor in good faith relied on  | 
| 13 |  | the records of the
Department of State Police in concluding  | 
| 14 |  | that the transferor had not
transferred a
handgun within  | 
| 15 |  | the previous 30 days or that multiple purchases were  | 
| 16 |  | authorized
by subsection (b) of Section 24-3.1A, or relied  |

| 4 |  | include a person who
makes occasional repairs of firearms  | 
| 5 |  | or who occasionally fits special barrels,
stocks, or  | 
| 6 |  | trigger mechanisms to firearms.
 |

| 8 |  | profit" means that the
intent
underlying the sale or  |

| 11 |  | such as
improving or liquidating a personal firearms  | 
| 12 |  | collection; however, proof of
profit shall not be required  | 
| 13 |  | as to a person who engages in the regular and

| 20 |  | been issued in the transferee's name by the Department of  | 
| 21 |  | State Police under the provisions of the Firearm Owners  |

| 24 |  | issued in the transferee's name by the

| 1 |  | to a person who is exempt from the requirement of  | 
| 2 |  | possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification Card under  |

| 4 |  | For the purposes of this Section, a currently valid Firearm  | 
| 5 |  | Owner's Identification Card means (i) a Firearm Owner's  | 
| 6 |  | Identification Card that has not expired or (ii) an  | 
| 7 |  | approval number issued in accordance with subsection  |

| 13 |  | licensed firearms dealers must also have complied with  | 
| 14 |  | subsection (a-10) of Section 3 of the Firearm Owners  | 
| 15 |  | Identification Card Act by determining the validity of  | 
| 16 |  | a purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card. | 
| 17 |  |    (2) All sellers or transferors who have complied  | 
| 18 |  | with the requirements of subparagraph (1) of this  | 
| 19 |  | paragraph (k) shall not be liable for damages in any  | 
| 20 |  | civil action arising from the use or misuse by the  | 
| 21 |  | transferee of the firearm transferred, except for  | 
| 22 |  | willful or wanton misconduct on the part of the seller  | 
| 23 |  | or transferor.  | 
| 24 |  |   (l) Not
being entitled to the possession of a firearm,  | 
| 25 |  | delivers the
firearm, knowing it to have been stolen or  | 
| 26 |  | converted. It may be inferred that

| 5 |  | firearms sold within 6
months after enactment of Public
Act  | 
| 6 |  | 78-355 (approved August 21, 1973, effective October 1, 1973),  | 
| 7 |  | nor is any
firearm legally owned or
possessed by any citizen or  | 
| 8 |  | purchased by any citizen within 6 months after the
enactment of  | 
| 9 |  | Public Act 78-355 subject
to confiscation or seizure under the  | 
| 10 |  | provisions of that Public Act. Nothing in
Public Act 78-355  | 
| 11 |  | shall be construed to prohibit the gift or trade of
any firearm  | 
| 12 |  | if that firearm was legally held or acquired within 6 months  | 
| 13 |  | after
the enactment of that Public Act.
 | 
| 14 |  |  (B-5) As used in this Section, "transfer" means the actual  | 
| 15 |  | or attempted
transfer of a firearm or firearm

| 16 |  | or without consideration, but does not include the lease of a

| 17 |  | firearm, or the provision of ammunition specifically for that  | 
| 18 |  | firearm, if the
firearm and the ammunition are to be used on  | 
| 19 |  | the lessor's premises, and does
not include any transfer of  | 
| 20 |  | possession when the transferor maintains
supervision and  | 
| 21 |  | control over the firearm or ammunition. | 
| 22 |  |  (B-10) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of
 | 
| 23 |  | paragraph (i-5) of subsection (A) that the transfer or
 | 
| 24 |  | possession with intent to transfer of a firearm
was
to a  | 
| 25 |  | transferee who received
the
firearm as an heir, legatee, or  |

| 3 |  | of a firearm, or any
other
possession or use of a firearm, in  | 
| 4 |  | violation of any law, other than paragraph
(i-5) of subsection  |

 | 
|  | 
| 1 |  | affirmative defenses to a violation of subsection (a).
 | 
| 2 |  |  (f) A violation of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor  |

| 5 |  |  (g) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that  | 
| 6 |  | may exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head  | 
| 7 |  | under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to  | 
| 8 |  | make or adopt rules to implement or enforce the provisions of  | 
| 9 |  | this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. If, however,  | 
| 10 |  | the Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or  | 
| 11 |  | enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 100th  | 
| 12 |  | General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General  | 
| 13 |  | Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House and the  |

| 15 |  | Assembly authorize the rulemaking by law, enact those suggested  | 
| 16 |  | rules into law, or take any other appropriate action in the  |

| 19 |  | interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other  | 
| 20 |  | Illinois statute if the authority is not otherwise explicitly  | 
| 21 |  | given. For the purposes of this subsection, "rules" is given  | 
| 22 |  | the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois  |

| 25 |  | the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that  | 
| 26 |  | those definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the  |
