Hello everyone,
There is a gun show here in Memphis on the 22nd, I plan on going and I'd like to get some info on "what to look out for, and what to expect".
If you missed my introduction, I'm a 30 year old Memphian who is interested in purchasing my first pistol, and maybe a rifle/shotgun if I can squeeze the two into my budget. I've been reading around for the last month or so, trying to get a idea of what I want, but I'm still not very knowledgeable when it comes to firearms.
I have afew simple questions about the workings of a gun show and how the process works.
Does the standard waiting period apply to a gun sale at a gun show? If so how do I retreive my gun from what I assume is a traveling group?
When buying from a gun show, the guns are used, right? How does a gun being used effect its price?
Is a gun show a safe place to purchase a firearm, or would it be a better idea to use one of the local shops?
When buying a used gun, what kind of things can I look for to make sure I am buying a quality peice?
What do I need to take with me? Is TN id enough?
