I was curious as to how purchases work at gun shows. Depends upon who's selling. If seller has a FFL he has to obey all the checks, waiting periods, etc. If a private citizen, nothing. That's the infamous loophole: private sales. Most of what you would see at a show is not privately held;

That discussion will lead instantly to politics, so I would avoid it. At this date, private citizens may buy or sell freely, privately owned items. Prudence however would indicate you protect yourself by asking for some form of ID from the buyer, and a written bill of sale, which documents the

Dan, I am not the end all of knowledge, so I defer to any and all greater and better informed to answer your question. My understanding for on line sales which involve interstate movement of the gun sold, or any non-personal contact requires the gun to be sent to a FFL licensed dealer, and the
