  3 24                           EXPLANATION
  3 25    This bill relates to permits for and the authority to

  3 28 weapons permit or for an annual permit to acquire pistols or
  3 29 revolvers provide a social security number on the application
  3 30 and requires instead that an applicant provide either a
  3 31 driver's license or nonoperator's identification card number.
  3 32    The bill also provides that a person who knowingly makes a
  3 33 false statement of material fact on an application for an
  3 34 annual permit to acquire a pistol or revolver commits a class

  4  1 for no more than five years and a fine of at least $750 but
  4  2 not more than $7,500.
  4  3    The bill allows a resident of Iowa to purchase rifles,
  4  4 shotguns, and other firearm accessories from a dealer licensed
  4  5 in a state other than Iowa.  The bill also allows an Iowa
  4  6 licensed dealer and an Iowa licensed curio or relic collector
  4  7 to sell or deliver a rifle or shotgun to a purchaser in any
  4  8 state that permits such a sale and the sale complies with the
  4  9 legal conditions of Iowa and the purchaser's state.
  4 10    The bill further provides that a resident of Iowa shall not
  4 11 receive or transport firearms from a resident of another state
  4 12 who is not a federally licensed firearm dealer unless the
  4 13 resident of Iowa acquires by bequest or intestate succession
  4 14 and the resident of Iowa is permitted to receive or transport
  4 15 firearms under applicable law.
