HI HB1734

Requires a separate application and permit for each rifle or shotgun acquisition, rather than allowing multiple purchases under one year-long permit.

Shortens the validity period of rifle and shotgun acquisition permits from one year to ten days from the date of issuance.

Aligns rifle and shotgun permitting procedures with existing pistol and revolver permit requirements, which also require separate applications and have ten-day validity periods.

Changes armed security guard requirements to possess a valid license to carry a firearm under section 134-9 procedures instead of a permit to acquire a firearm under section 134-2.

Effective upon approval; does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before the effective date.
