(b) Any licensed vendor may sell or otherwise transfer:
(1) Ammunition, excluding restricted pistol bullets, and any firearm or destructive device which is lawfully a part of such licensee’s inventory, to any person or organization outside the Commonwealth provided that the person or organization is properly licensed under federal law and the jurisdiction where such person resides or conducts such business;
(2) Ammunition which is lawfully a part of such licensee’s inventory to any resident of the Commonwealth who possesses a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card; and
(3) Ammunition, including restricted pistol bullets, and any firearm or destructive device which is lawfully a part of such licensee’s inventory to:
(i) Any other licensed vendor;
(ii) Any Commonwealth law enforcement officer or law enforcement agent of the United States of America acting within the scope of his duties when acquiring such firearm, ammunition, or destructive device, if the officer or agent has in his possession a statement from the head of his agency stating that the item is to be used in such officer’s or agent’s official duties.
(c) Any licensed vendor may sell a firearm to any person or organization possessing a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card; provided that the firearm will not be delivered to the person or organization until the person or organization acquires a firearm registration certificate for the firearm. If the Department denies a registration certificate, the Department shall so advise the licensed firearm vendor who shall thereupon:
(1) Withhold delivery until such time as a registration certificate is issued, or
(2) At the option of the purchaser, declare the contract null and void, in which case consideration and tax paid to the licensee shall be returned to the purchaser.
(d) Except as provided in this section, no licensed vendor shall sell or otherwise transfer ammunition unless:
(1) The sale or transfer is made in person; and
(2) The purchaser exhibits, at the time of sale or other transfer, a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card; and
(3) The purchaser signs a receipt for the ammunition which, in addition to the other records required under this Division, shall be maintained by the licensed vendor for a period of one year from the date of sale.
