You are incorrect.bbonner wrote:Most of the show was difficult to watch but the "gun show loophole" portion was the most difficult for me. Who among you has been able to go into a gun show and buy a gun from anyone at a vendor table and did not have to fill out any paperwork and/or show your CHL license? For this person to walk into a gun show and walk out with all of those guns and say there were no questions asked was a malicious lie! Or . . . is it possible that I have never come across this in all my years going to gun shows! I understand it is possible to buy a gun from people walking around with a gun in their backpack and a sign but there are no vendors that can legally sell a gun without proper paperwork. Am I wrong on this? If so, I feel so stupid!

Part of the thrill of going to a Gun Show is looking at everyone bringing stuff with them to sell. They carry pistols, rifles, knives, all sorts of things. Sometimes they will have a sign on a gun they are carrying with the price. Others have no signs. You simply walk up and ask "is that for sale" and go from there.
That is exactly what the guy in the ABC Show did. He walked up to someone in line that had a pistol in their hand and asked if it was for sale.
As long as you buy from an individual and not a licensed FFL Dealer, you can buy with absolutely no paperwork at all. A lot of guys that have extensive collections sometimes rent tables to sell their guns. You can buy from them without paperwork. Just because someone has a table does not mean that they are an FFL and paperwork is needed.
If you are not sure, just ask if the person is a FFL Dealer. If the answer is YES, then there will be paperwork and a NICS Check. If the answer is NO, pull out your cash and take the gun home with no other requirements.
