Requires firearm transfer between members of immediate family be conducted through licensed retail firearm dealer.

This bill would require all firearm transfers between immediate family members (such as parents, children, or siblings) to go through a licensed retail dealer, removing an existing exception that allowed direct transfers. Currently, immediate family transfers could occur without dealer involvement, but this bill would mandate that such transactions undergo a background check and be processed by a licensed dealer, similar to standard retail sales. The dealer would conduct a background check, maintain records, and charge a fee, with transaction records kept confidential. This change applies to handguns and rifles/shotguns (excluding antique firearms) and is pending before the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
