Title 13 - LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Chapter 54 - FIREARMS AND WEAPONS
Subchapter 3 - RETAIL DEALERS
Section 13:54-3.4 - Standards and qualifications

(a) No license shall be granted under this subchapter to any retail dealer under the age of 21 or to any employee of a retail dealer under the age of 18 or to any person who could not qualify to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card, or to any corporation, partnership or other business organization in which the actual or equitable controlling interest is held or possessed by such an ineligible person.

(b) An employee who is licensed by the Superintendent to engage in the purchase or sale of firearms, ammunition or to engage in gunsmithing is licensed for so long as the employee remains in the employ of the retail dealer or becomes disabled as provided in this chapter.

(c) Employees must be licensed for each individual location where they shall work. Should an employee be transferred from his or her licensed location to another location, by the same licensed employer, that employee shall apply for a new license by submitting application form S.P. 641, consent for mental health records search form S.P. 66 and shall immediately surrender his or her current employee license to the Superintendent.

(d) A retail dealer shall, within five days, return any employees' license of an employee who has been terminated or has become disqualified as provided in this chapter, to the Superintendent.

(e) No retail dealer shall conduct a retail business in a mobile or temporary facility ("Mobile " meaning a facility easily moved from one location to another. "Temporary" meaning a facility not having indicia of permanency). A temporary facility includes, but is not limited to, places for garage sales, flea markets, gun shows and exhibits.

(f) A retail dealer shall not receive an initial license unless local zoning requirements have been satisfied for the operation of such a business, and the Superintendent has been notified in writing that such requirements have been satisfied. The Superintendent may, in his or her discretion, decline to process or investigate an application for an initial retail dealer license until such time as the applicant demonstrates compliance with local zoning requirements. After the issuance of the initial license, a retail dealer has a continuing obligation to remain in compliance with local zoning requirements and to notify the Superintendent within 48 hours of receiving written notice from the local zoning official or other competent authority that he or she is not in compliance with such local zoning requirements. The failure of the retail dealer to comply with this notification requirement may result in the revocation of the registration or license of such dealer.
