13. What laws are different at a gun show than ANYWHERE else in the state?
Edited on Mon Apr-19-10 01:58 PM by OneTenthofOnePercent
Answer: None.
FFLs must still run NICS background checks (like they do in a store) on buyers and collect Form 4473.
Private sellers can sell their personal firearms just as if they were selling it to a friend in their house.
Straw purchasing is still illegal.


Conclusion: "The Gunshow Loophole" is not a loophole - it's a meme which also suffers from unfortunate nomenclature.
The laws at a gunshow are identical to every square inch of state outside that gunshow. Period.
Ergo, "'The Gunshow Loophole' - Quite possibly the stupidest talking point ever."
