    The FBI runs the background checks and you have to have a FFL dealer number to run one. Any FFL can run it.

    OH, welcome to the board! Hope you stick around. Glad to answer even on an old thread. Why don't you go to General Discussion and intro yourself...

    Hm, there's some very different posts here. The shows in Somerset here in KY I went to a few years ago had a lot of private sellers with no paperwork in sight. Most tables have to do paperwork now tho as a lot more sellers are FFLs.

    The "gun show loophole" is a referrence to the private sellers - yes. But this is entirely legal and not limited to gun shows at all. Any two people can exchange a firearm within a state. That is, if they are both residents - and that's entirely legal. Still is in most states.

    In Georgia they do a background check if they are a FFL dealer. No private citizen is required to do one and a bill of sale is not required either.

    I can sell guns from my personal collection on my front lawn all day long.
    I can also do this at local gun shows. Buy a table, set it up and sell, sell, sell.
    No FFL, no nothing.

    I haven't done it, but know others who do.
    Many States cannot regulate this activity except through new manufacturers.
    Personal collections, it's open range.
    I have bought a 1903 Springfield, and M1 Garand, at Gun Show, no paper of any kind.

    Loophole?
