Ever been to a show where you can buy without a background check? I haven't. And yes, you can wheel and deal in the parking lot, I guess, never seen that either. It's rare to see anyone outside with a weapon in the open, it's really not done old boy.

Hell, we can't bring guns into the show and there are cops everywhere looking for people fucking around. And that's in NW Florida, a conservative hellhole.

The "gun show loophole" is such a tiny portion of sales it amounts to a rounding error.

CAVEAT: I hardly ever attend those shows. Buncha MAGA nuts, though not as bad as some might imagine. Bought a canteen off a 3% guy, didn't know till I walked off, wish I had his pic. Tried to find him as a vendor and failed. :(

I have in fact been to 5 gun shows that don't do background checks, and changed my mind about buying one I'd had my eye on when the guy behind the table opened with "I am not legally required to check your ID, just to ask if you intend to use a firearm to commit a crime, and I can't sell to you if you say yes". This was in Arkansas, around 2014-2015
