No registration is required for any firearm purchased. There are no
licensing requirements for owners of handguns. There is no waiting
period when purchasing a firearm. People are moving in every day with
firearms with no way to track them...(Linda (Kengott) Wiewiorkiewicz is
a former Valley resident and former community columnist for this
newspaper. She currently lives in Chicago and is an account manager at a
large insurance firm.)
