>but you're still going to get the same background check you would get at a retail location Depending on the state (I guess), private sellers are allowed their own booths at gun shows and only dealers are required to do background checks (this is part of the "gun show loop hole"). But private sellers at gun shows make up a small percent, mostly just collectors. There would be no profit to buy a gun and then try to sell it as a private sell at a gun show. "Gun people" are not stupid and the last thing that would be allowed at a gun show would be someone posing as a private seller and selling marked up firearms to people that would otherwise refuse to pay a lower price from a dealer but would have to do a background check with them....
