The code currently requires obtaining a dangerous weapon retailer's license to sell dangerous weapons including firearms, except rifles or shotguns use for hunting purposes, air rifles and "weapons used solely for target practice purposes." This ordinance deletes all firearms, regardless of intended use, from the definition of dangerous weapons requiring a dangerous weapon retailer's license.
This ordinance also:

4. Prohibits the exhibit or display of dangerous weapons for sale in show windows in a public manner, or in show cases or counters in the inside which can be seen from the public street.
