1  (g-11) Subsection 24-1(a)(6) does not apply to or affect
2  persons licensed under federal law to distribute at wholesale
3  any device or attachment of any kind designed, used, or
4  intended for use in silencing the report of any firearm,
5  firearms, or ammunition for those firearms equipped with those
6  devices, and actually engaged in the business of distributing
7  at wholesale those devices, firearms, or ammunition, but only
8  with respect to activities that are within the lawful scope of
9  that business, such as the distribution, transportation, or
10  demonstration of those devices, firearms, or ammunition to
11  qualified end users. In this subsection (g-11), "distributing
12  at wholesale" means that 90% or more of the revenue of the
13  business under the federal license held is derived from sales
14  to other federal licensees, governmental end users, and
15  federally approved export end users. This exemption does not
16  authorize the general private possession of any device or
17  attachment of any kind designed, used, or intended for use in
18  silencing the report of any firearm, but only such possession
19  and activities as are within the lawful scope of a licensed
20  wholesale distribution business described in this subsection
21  (g-11). During transportation, these devices shall be detached
22  from any weapon or not immediately accessible.
23  (h) An information or indictment based upon a violation of
24  any subsection of this Article need not negate negative any
25  exemptions contained in this Article. The defendant shall have
26  the burden of proving such an exemption.
