gun show question

Check the laws in your state, but as a general rule it's okay to transfer a firearm to a resident of your own state as long as they can legally own that firearm.
Actually it's if you have reason to belive that the person is prohibited. I suggest that if you sell to a person on the floor that you get an ID and record name, address and lic#. That's what I do every time. If he won't give that up the sale is squashed no matter how much he offers. Selling to someone who has a table is differant, I usually just get his card.

A state concealed carry permit is always a good indicator that your customer is eligible to own firearms.
Tim,
At most "gunshows" you'll need to be a member to trade or sale a firearm at a gunshow.
The above post about checking state law is if you are selling face to face (ftf) meaning from a private person to another (e.g. you listed it for sale and you met them to make the transaction). Check with your gunshow rules.
The main one here in Washington State - Washington Arms Collectors (Puyallup, WA and Monroe, WA) you HAVE to be a member to both sell and buy a firearm at the show. Membership here they do a background check so that rules out the second post concerning - knowingly selling to a prohibited person.

Ah...maybe in WA. Down here, private FTF sales are allowed and even encouraged.

TimNelson, Trades do happen at Gun Shows, but beware, Gun Shows now of days have become just a place that Cheats & Beats gather at to prey upon the walk in crowd, which you will be a part of. Have fun at the show. orchidhunter

As always, caveat emptor.
