I haven't been to a gun show in a couple of years now, but from what I remember, the only firearms being sold by private individuals (not licensed dealers) were mostly old revolvers and bolt action rifles. Quite a few were military surplus bolt actions like Springfields, Mausers, Arisakas, that sort of thing. I remember seeing a guy walking around the Will Rogers Center in Fort Worth with a scoped bolt-action rifle that had a sign on it saying "For Sale". All the "cool guns" like semi-automatic pistols and ARs/AKs, etc, they were all being sold by licensed dealers...who we all know make you fill out the paperwork just like buying one in a gun store.
At the shows around Houston there are private sellers selling modern semi-autos as much as older stuff. Some are a bit suspicious, at every show with dozens of guns.
