LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 81, as introduced, Skinner. Firearms: licensed firearms dealers.

Existing law generally requires a licensed firearms dealer to conduct business exclusively in buildings designated in the license. Existing law provides limited exceptions to this requirement for gun shows, auctions, and raffles, as provided.
