Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 A friend of mine on vacation in Florida and said he was at a gun emporium or gun show....said there were some "iffy" characters he observed that walked up to a gun dealer, looked at an AK type rifle, handed the dealer cash, and walked away with the rifle. I told him he is mistaken as that would be illegal. From what I understand the dealer at such venues must have an FFL and a background check must be done unless the buyer has a CCW/CPL. Is there something I'm missing here? ....thanks for any help understanding this. GG ~
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 In many states, an individual may purchase a table at gun shows to offer guns from their personal collections for sale as face to face transactions without an FFL or C&R. It is not against any federal statute, so it is only subject to state and local law and the rules set down by the promoter.
Sedalia Dave Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 2 possibilities 1. Not everyone at a gun show is a dealer. Private individuals can set up a table and sell. 2. The dealer knowingly broke the law.
