My buddy wants to go to a gun show and take me cause I've been wanting a new shot gun. How do these work? I've never been to one and he says people just have stands and u can pay cash for guns. Is there no registration or paper work though for weapon ownership??
Nice lol
The laws vary depending on which state you're in.
Depending on your state but there is typicaly paperwork that has to be filled out because these guys (most) have an FFL. They would do whats called a NICS check on you quick. It takes very little time and is just basic background check to make sure your not a felon.
depends on the state.. some guys will take visa.. if your state requires a fed background check before they sale that happens..
Hmmmm I live in ky. Any knowledge on the particulars here
Call your local Sheriff's Office. Some states issue a permit to purchase and this will negate the need to do the NICS check at the gun show!Quote:

Oh cool!!Quote:

only if you know what you are buying...
Cheaper than retail..sometimes. They negotiate like a used car salesman. Do your homework and no the prices before you go. Do you know what you are looking for??Quote:

So far I'm looking at moss berg shotguns mostly. I want a semi automatic for clay pigeon shooting. But still a 12 gauge for turkey season. I've been learning a lot lately on more and more guns but it can b a lot to take in at once.
Wow rly???Quote:

Obviously you should know what you are looking for and the going price. Typically rifles or shot guns are cash and carry depending on the state as noted but most everywhere hand guns have a waiting period unless you have a concealed weapons permit.
Ahhhhh I have to wait for handguns anyways. Still 20 years old lolQuote:
