HB 1478 -- Unlawful Possession and Transfer of Firearms

Sponsor:  Cunningham (86)

This bill changes the crime of unlawful possession of a
concealable firearm to unlawful possession of a firearm.  The
bill adds illegal aliens, individuals dishonorably discharged
from the United States armed forces, persons renouncing their
United States citizenship, respondents of a valid full order of
protection still in effect, and persons convicted of a
misdemeanor domestic violence crime to the list of persons not
lawfully entitled to possess a firearm.  The bill also makes it
unlawful for a person to transfer a firearm if he or she has
reasonable cause to believe that the person receiving the firearm
is not legally entitled to possess a firearm.
