Summary

The bill forces licensed gunsmiths and dealers to keep detailed logs of every firearm transaction and to wait up to 33 days for a background‑check response before handing over a rifle or shotgun. If the state’s NICS system does not reply within that window, the seller can decide whether to complete the transfer. It also sets special rules for licensed pistol owners, peace officers and other exempt persons.
