Sec. 16A-50. Dealers in firearms, dirks and Bowie knives.
No person, firm or corporation shall sell firearms, dirks or
Bowie knives without having first procured a license therefor.
Every person, firm or corporation engaged in the business
of selling firearms, dirks or Bowie knives, or who shall hereafter
engage in such business, shall pay for the privilege of
transacting the business a specific license tax of five dollars,
and no such license shall be issued for any less period than one
year or shall there be any abatement in any instance of the tax
upon such license by reason of the fact that the person so
licensed shall have exercised such license calling for a period
of less than one year. Applicants for licenses to deal in firearms,
dirks and Bowie knives must have the annual written
consent of the city manager and chief of police. Dealers shall
report all sales to the chief of police monthly, giving names and
addresses of purchasers. (4-7-69, § 28.)
