     firearms direct to the consumer, subject to the following
     conditions in addition to those specified in section 6111

     which the license shall be forfeited and the licensee subject to
     punishment as provided in this subchapter:
            (1)  The business shall be carried on only upon the
        premises designated in the license or at a lawful gun show or
        meet.
            (2)  The license, or a copy thereof, certified by the

        provision of this subchapter.
            (4)  No firearm shall be sold under any circumstances
        unless the purchaser is personally known to the seller or
        shall present clear evidence of the purchaser's identity.
            (5)  A true record in triplicate shall be made of every
        firearm sold, in a book kept for the purpose, the form of

        shall be personally signed by the purchaser and by the person
        effecting the sale, each in the presence of the other, and

        Commonwealth or any area thereof, firearms shall be stored
        and safeguarded pursuant to regulations to be established by
        the Pennsylvania State Police by the licensee during the
