Any decent gun shows

[Rockmup]

coming up soon ?
Google only shows one in late July. I'd have thought you could catch one monthly if you're willing to drive a little.

There's a show at Camp Jordan in Chattanooga next weekend, June 29-30.

Cheers,

Just missed the last local show. Next good one is the collectors show in Knoxville next month. Strictly firearms

I take it you can sell at these like a normal free state ?

Yes.  If it's like some gun shows, there will be a mosh pit of buyers and sellers near the entrance.

Not allowed at the Smoky Mountain Gun Collectors Show. However that doesn't mean hopeful buyers wont follow you through the entrance like a dog waiting on its supper

Curious - what kind of effect did the recent ATF dealer updates have on "personal collection" type tables at the RK show in Knoxville a week or so ago.

The report I received from the Expo RK show stated people that were selling as "collectors" varied in their approach to selling versus last show. Some set up and acted like it was any other show while others removed the dumba** signs on their able that pointed out they weren't a dealer. Some of the "vultures" we all have come to know changed their approach on sniping which I figured would happen. What better way to say "I do this for a living" lol. All in all a very similar show according to what I was told .

I miss the real Gun Shows we used to have way back then, you could just about find what you were looking for to buy or trade, but those are few now. On the subject about selling guns I guess it's up to the shows sponsors to set what rules to go by, but I still can't understand that the ATF just can't make up laws without congress in-acting them into law. They can suggest any sort of so called "Law" of what they want to do but I believe it needs approval before and then signed into a law, I may be wrong but as far as I understand TN doesn't have a law that says I need to meet a buyer at a FFL to do any paperwork on a Private Sale unless the Buyer want to do that and also make sure they are of age, until then I'm going to keep doing what I've always done.

That ruling was killed by a Federal judge who granted a partial injunction so for now, its dead.

The summer shows have never been worth much for some time and it's only gotten worse for a dozen reasons. You're better off walking around somewhere where the women are better looking and the food is better
