    An amendment to the original bill has language that is confusing to me regarding that issue.

    "(b) "GUN SHOW VENDOR" DOES NOT INCLUDE A PERSON WHO IS NOT A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEE WHO SELLS, OFFERS FOR SALE, OR TRANSFERS A FIREARM TO, OR EXCHANGES A FIREARM WITH, A GUN SHOW VENDOR WHO IS A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEE AT A GUN SHOW, INCLUDING TRANSFERRING A FIREARM TO A GUN SHOW VENDOR WHO IS A FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEE FOR SALE ON CONSIGNMENT OR TO FACILITATE A PRIVATE FIREARM TRANSFER.".

    So in the definition, those who participate in gun shows who sell items that are not firearms, would not be considered a gun show vendor per their definition and thus, not subject to the requirements put forth for gun show vendors?

    It is very confusing to me.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    That means someone at a show who sells a gun TO a vendor or leaves it for consignment, is not considered a "GUN SHOW VENDOR".

    This........ as I read it.
    But as I read it, a private person can go to a show and sell to a Vendor (FFL) but you can't set up as a Vendor as you dont have an FFL.
    Somehow though you can magically conduct a private firearms transfer thru an FFL.
    So you can walk around with a gun for sale, but not have a table.
    Or something................ ???

    I think you are right in your assessment. With roughly 50% of the current show vendors being non-FFL holders, this will effectively wipe out the gun show as it exists now, possibly for good. The vendors selling holsters, optics, gun parts, t-shirts, coffee cups, food and the like, fill the show tables. Without them, the shows won't make it.

    Why? They don't need an ffl to sell kettlecorn or any of the things you mentioned. These rule don't include them.

    This new legislation seem to mostly affect the promoter, not the vendors. Since Tanner is the only game in town, they will need to be in compliance with more people enforcing the age limit and ammo lockup.

    Because the language of the bill is very specific as to what a vendor at the gun show is and must do.

    "The bill prohibits a person from participating in a gun show as a gun show vendor if the person is not a federal firearms licencee, does not hold a valid state firearms dealer permit, has been convicted of a second offense of unlawful gunT show vendor activity as described in the bill, or has not completed a gun show certification for the gun show promoter as required in the bill. Unlawful participation in a gun show as a gun show vendor is a class 2 misdemeanor; except that a second or subsequent offense is a class 1 misdemeanor."
