Any ideas about the percentages of firearms at gun shows that are offered by private sellers versus FFLs? I'm guessing that this may vary significantly from state to state.
I would guess that FFLs would account for a disproportionate amount of inventory at gun shows, but that if you counted just sellers, private sellers might account for a larger percentage of sellers than firearms sold.
I understand that 17 states require instant background checks for private transactions.
Is there a good thread for law and actual practices for gun shows state-by-state?
I am confused also about whether FFLs have to background check AND 4473 (document) the transfer of every firearm, no matter the state where the gun show is located, and no matter if the buyer has the equivalent of an LTC for that state.
There is a mountain of misinformation and misunderstanding out there on these topics, but I'm betting it's been boiled down concisely in a thread here ...
