 8        Sec.  3.  (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person
 9    within this State may knowingly  transfer,  or  cause  to  be
10    transferred,  any  firearm  or  any firearm ammunition to any
11    person within this State unless the transferee with  whom  he
12    or  she  deals  displays  a  currently  valid Firearm Owner's
13    Identification Card which has previously been issued  in  his
14    name  by  the Department of State Police under the provisions
15    of this Act. In addition, all firearm transfers by  federally
16    licensed firearm dealers are subject to Section 3.1.
17        (b)  Any person within this State who transfers or causes
18    to  be  transferred  any  firearm shall keep a record of such

23    transfer was completed within this  State,  the  transferee's
24    Firearm  Owner's  Identification  Card number. On demand of a
25    peace officer such transferor shall  produce  for  inspection
26    such record of transfer.
