Specifically, the business will involve <br />the sale of firearms whereby a customer may review catalogs for <br />a particular firearm. The firearm is then ordered by Mr. <br />Palmer and delivered to his home address and eventually, picked <br />up by the prospective buyer. As stated in the attached letter <br />from Mr. Palmer, no inventory of firearms available for sale <br />will be kept on site. In addition, no accessories such as <br />ammunition will be sold on the premises. <br /> <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR SALE OF FIREARMS <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Generally speaking, in order to sell firearms, an individual <br />must obtain a Federal Firearms License from the Bureau of <br />Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). The most common license <br />issued by ATF is a Type I, which allows the buying and selling <br />of firearms. Mr. Palmer currently has a Type 1 license that is <br />valid through May, 1996. The City currently has no license or <br />permit requirements to sell a firearm. However, it should be <br />pointed out that the state legislature recently passed a bill <br />which states, "...a governmental subdivision may regulate by <br />reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and nonarbitrary zoning <br /> <br />P.O.
