the place of business where the firearms are offered for sale is equipped with an
electronic system that is designed to monitor the place of business for the presence
of, detect and summon aid for, or issue an alarm as a result of, an unauthorized
intrusion. The prohibition does not apply, however, to an individual who offers to sell
firearms at his or her residence.
