| knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | 9 |
| firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | 10 |
| this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays a | 11 |
| currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card which has | 12 |
| previously been issued in his name by the
Department of State | 13 |
| Police under the provisions of this Act. In addition,
all | 14 |
