Ch. 5

Subsection (a) of this section is rephrased in standard language to state
affirmatively that a person must be licensed to engage in business as a
manufacturer or dealer, to possess explosives other than explosives for use
in firearms, or to possess or store explosives for use in firearms in the
State.

In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "explosives for use in
firearms" is substituted for the former reference to "smokeless powder or
black powder for use in firearms" for clarity and to use the defined term.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "a quantity ...
in excess of those quantities set forth in subsection (a) of this section" is
deleted. Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, a person must
obtain a license to possess or store explosives for use in firearms.

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former phrase "confined strictly for
use" in firearms is deleted as redundant. Subsection (d)(1) of this section is.
limited solely to personal use of these explosives.

Defined terms: "Dealer" § 11-101
"Explosives" § 11-101
"Explosives for use in firearms" § 11-101
"Manufacturer" § 11-101
"Person" § 1-101
