Sec. 25‑5. Purpose. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this Article to ensure that competitive shooting athletes may bring into the State, possess, transport, and use competition firearms that are sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the International Shooting Sport Federation (the international governing body for shooting competitions), or USA Shooting (the national governing body for Olympic shooting sports in the United States) in connection with the athletes' participation in official shooting competitions at the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and sanctioned test events leading up to the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games should the City of Chicago be selected to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. These provisions only have the effect of allowing possession of, transport of, and use of, firearms for Olympic‑style shooting by athletes in such competitions, without affecting other firearms regulated under existing law.
