Germantown show - background checks required.

[Grayfox54]

A friend of mine heard a rumor and asked me about it. I checked R. K. Gun Shows web site and it seems that the Agricenter has decided to require background checks on all gun sales. Here's a LINK. As near as I can tell this applies to shows at the Agricenter only. The next G-town show is Nov 18 &19. Just a week away.

Here's the exact quote from the bottom of the page:

"***Background checks will be required at all gun shows held at the Agricenter International per Agricenter Management

 This is really gonna hurt a lot of private sellers and could end up killing that show all together. But I guess that's what ultra-liberal memphis wants anyway. 

Honestly, I've gotten where I can take or leave this show as it rarely has anything I'm interested in. But still, this is just plain wrong.

 I guess all private sales will have to be outside the building then.

Now is this only on tables he rents you? Goodman required this a few years ago to please the fair board and it killed his shows. its not State law but their rules. Don't know

how they could enforce this on person to person floor sales.

FFL Dealers are already required to do background checks, and when I have bought anything at a gun show they have.

It appears to me they are just trying to limit liability and still be able to have the gun show.

I have never sold or bought a pistol or rifle through a private sale. Is this what they call the gun show loop hole? I have seldom read anything on private gun sales and that gun used in a crime (which is the concern of gun control advocates). Anyone know just how real this is?

Gun show loophole, isn’t a loophole at all it’s made up. It’s just like any other private party sale in TN. 

Private party sale in TN, you give me money, I give you gun, end of transaction. Only difference is instead of it being listed online to get an audience, where there is a record, it’s two people meeting face to face with no paper trail or electronic record. The antis don’t care about crime, just having a record of where the guns are so they can confiscate them in the future.

Yes, when they say they want to outlaw the “gun show loop hole”; they want to stop private sales without a background check. It has nothing to do with a gun show. They want to stop us from selling to each other.

Guns used in crimes may come from anywhere. Most of the shooters in mass killings have purchased legally.

Thanks all for the feedback.

Haven't been in several years. The last 2 times I went they had very little I was interested in and way over priced. Plus they jam everyone into a small area.

Everything is WAY overpriced. Online shopping and local trades have spoiled shows for me. Why go to a show when I can come here and find something I want.

IT has been years since I stepped into a gun show, it had been a few years prior to that that I had been to one worth paying for. Between the parking fee, entree fee, unwashed neck beards, $6.00 cokes, 90+% new inventory and beef jerky, whats even the point? You may save $10.00 off the cost of your new gun (maybe) but thats after shelling out near $40 just to get in the door. Especially with all the good shops in TN and the TGO classifieds.

 If at all possible, I think everyone should try to make the Tulsa gun show sometime in their life (4200 tables). They're twice a year, April and November. They weren't this big when I lived around there but they were still huge!

From their page:

Something to think about:   If all our tables (2800 8ft. and 1300 6ft.) were placed end to end they would stretch 5.7 miles!

If you spend the whole 18 hours we are open to the public and divide that by 4,200 tables, You will have 15.4 seconds to look at each table.

Yep, everyone needs to make Tulsa at least once.

That I would like to see. There used to be terrific shows in of all places Ca when I was a kid at the LA fair grounds. 3-4 Airplane hangers full with vendors crowding in the walkways between buildings too. Tulsa sounds like what I still think of when I picture a gun show, until the reality of local one sits in again anyway lol.

Just like they did at the Knoxville Expo Center for a while, escort people off the property and trespass them for selling guns outside the building. I was threatened with arrest by one of their security guys because I was about to buy a gun from a guy standing out front. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
