process of qualifying the buyer. That could be a very important time to prevent errors that are made <br />by a less qualified person. <br /> <br /> Mr. Thomas had no problem with that, but felt there was a misunderstanding of the type of <br />people that he or Walmart puts behind the counters. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis's goal is that the people with the background check oversee the forms sooner in <br />the process. They have the greater responsibility for the sale of the firearms and should see the <br />paperwork from start to fmish. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if the staffrecommendationwas the second paragraph in #3. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush explained that Council could require anyone involved in filling out the DROS be <br />required to have fingerprints processed and provide background information. A person who only <br />discusses or shows the firearms would not have to have the background information. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver did not want anyone who has not had a background check touching the gun. A <br />gun sale should be their responsibility from beginning to end. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said Council could make this as broad or as narrow as it wishes. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis said the guns are trigger-locked. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver felt if it was important enough to control at this level, he believed the gun should <br />not be out of the control of the authorized person. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked for an explanation of the requirements in the original ordinance. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said it provides that there will be a background investigation of persons involved <br />in the sale of firearms. This procedure is to define more precisely what is meant by that phrase. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis did not think this was a problem for smaller business; it only becomes a <br />problem for bigger stores that want more flexibility in moving staff around. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala clarified that the recommendation was to change the last sentence in staff <br />recommendations 3, 4 and 5. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush believed Council was requesting a background check for anyone showing a <br />firearm or filling out the DROS from. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver said that he was concerned about the possession of the gun in any manner out of <br />the locked rack. The gun was to be controlled by someone who had been fingerprinted and <br />understands the safety issues involved with gun control.
