[QUOTE="Raoul Duke, post: 2162202, member: 27529"] [URL="http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Tulsa_man_who_wants_to_sell_guns_online_gets_zoning/20130404_16_A9_ATulsa468689"]http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Tulsa_man_who_wants_to_sell_guns_online_gets_zoning/20130404_16_A9_ATulsa468689[/URL] [I]Ireneusz "Eric" Woronko, who lives at 7224 E. 62nd Place, told commissioners that he has bought and sold antique guns as a hobby but wishes to begin selling firearms over the Internet to supplement his income once he retires. To buy and sell a greater number of guns solely to make a profit, Woronko said, he must obtain a federal firearms license. The application for the license, which is issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, requires that the applicant certify that state and local laws do not prohibit gun sales on the property. "If I do get this license, that will be the most regulated corner in the whole neighborhood," Woronko told commissioners. "ATF is extremely strict with who they give a license to, and I will be subjected to periodic inspections." He told commissioners that he would not be selling automatic weapons and that all of his customers would be required to pass background checks. Pickup and delivery of guns at his home - other than by a parcel service - also would be prohibited. "Right now, anybody can sell a weapon to anybody else without a background check," Woronko said. "As a licensed (federal firearms) dealer, I will not be able to do that anymore. Every single weapon that leaves my hands, that person will get a background check." Wednesday's vote was 7-2, with Commissioners Dwain Midget and Gail Carnes in opposition. Midget said he has nothing against Woronko but is troubled by the zoning code not addressing home-based Internet businesses - especially those that sell firearms. "I just have a lot of concerns and heartburn with it, and I don't feel comfortable personally approving it," he said. "The whole idea of firearms, I think, is a slippery slope with Internet sales" without proper clarification in the zoning code.[/I] [/QUOTE]
