3) Nothing in this subsection (a) shall be construed to interfere with any federal agency or any federal agency inspection or investigation.

b)During an inspection, certified licensees shall make the following accessible for inspection, upon the request of ISP or an authorized assisting law enforcement agency accompanying ISP:

1)All records and documents related to the sale, lease, transfer, and/or destruction of firearms; and

2)All firearms in inventory. (Section 5-35 of the Act)

c) Failure to fully cooperate with an inspection could result in the imposition of discipline and/or a fine in accordance with the Act.
