Anyone who is in the business of selling firearms is required by federal law to have a federal license which requires them to perform a background check on all sales, whether they're at a dedicated store or a gun show. The only "loophole" is that you might be able to find a private individual willing to sell something from their closet. Some guy in an F-150 in the parking lot will sell you an old gun without a background check. An actual gun seller with stock at a gun show will perform a background check just like they would anywhere else.
- bb88 8y agoNope. Private people can have stock at gun shows and not be required to have a Federal Firearm License. I'll put a link here, not that you'll check it. http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/gun-show-firearms-bankground-checks-state-laws-map.html http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/gun-show-fi...
- somebodynew 8y agoWe're not going to have a productive conversation if you assume anyone who disagrees with your political positions is incapable of or unwilling to read. Yes, a private individual could liquidate their closet of guns they don't want anymore at a gun show without being legally required to conduct a background check. They can't have "stock" or "inventory" or otherwise resemble any attempt to be in the business of selling firearms or they're going to get a nasty visit from BATFE.
