Gun Control Reform Activism

Background Checks for Licensee and Employees: Gun store employees often have access to huge inventories of guns and it is a commonsense practice to make sure that the dealer and employees are just as responsible as the buyers.

Transparency and Accountability: Upon licensure, dealers would have their places of business, including all records and inventories, open for inspection by IDFPR and law enforcement during all hours of operation.

Training: The bill would require training to ensure that dealers and their employees know how to conduct background checks, identify and stop straw purchases, and properly store guns to prevent thefts.

Video Surveillance System & Security Requirements: The legislation codifies industry best practices by requiring 24/7 video
surveillance of the business and visible footage of the purchaser in each transaction.

Business Location Restrictions: The business of a licensee and inventories cannot be within 1,000 feet of any school or daycare facility (with an exemption for densely populated areas) or in violation of any local ordinance.
