21 or who occasionally fits special barrels, stocks, or
22 trigger mechanisms to firearms.
23 "With the principal objective of livelihood and
24 profit" means that the intent underlying the sale or
25 disposition of firearms is predominantly one of obtaining
26 livelihood and pecuniary gain, as opposed to other intents,

HB1189 Enrolled- 18 -LRB098 02638 RLC 32643 b
1 such as improving or liquidating a personal firearms
2 collection; however, proof of profit shall not be required

20 Section 923 of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 (18
21 U.S.C. 923), an approval number issued in accordance with
22 subsection (a-10) of Section 3 or Section 3.1 of the
23 Firearm Owners Identification Card Act shall be proof that
24 the Firearm Owner's Identification Card was valid.
25 (1) In addition to the other requirements of this
26 paragraph (k), all persons who are not federally

HB1189 Enrolled- 19 -LRB098 02638 RLC 32643 b
1 licensed firearms dealers must also have complied with
