Authorizes chiefs of part-time municipal police forces to issue firearms ID cards and handgun purchase permits.

The bill would authorize the chief of police of a part-time municipal police department or force to issue firearms purchaser identification cards and permits to purchase a handgun. Under current law, only the chiefs of full-time police departments or forces are authorized to issue these firearms cards and permits. This change would relieve the State Police from processing these applications and facilitate their issuance in a more timely fashion.
