December Gun Shows at Okc Fairgrounds

[sherrick13]

The Claude Hall show is the best of the OKC shows. I have noticed quite a bit of milsurp in the last year or so, which is I look for.

Do not expect to get new stuff or ammo cheaper than online.

Gunshows are for finding stuff you can't just search and buy online. They are not for great deals on SKU items.

I’ve seen several agents at OKC gun shows dressed in street clothes. In 2000 they tried to set me up. I won’t go into details. Be careful who you deal with at gun shows.

How is that illegal ? As long as it's a private sale. I don't get it.

Buying and then selling a gun ‘strictly for profit’ means you’re doing business selling guns which requires an FFL. That’s why they’ll offer double what you just paid, you take the sale and therefore you sold the gun for profit, without an FFL.

The govt has been progressively changing the definition of “in the business” of selling guns in an effort to restrict more & more sales that don’t require an FFL. So, the days of legally flipping guns without an FFL are over.

Ah Ha. This must be the ATF doing such things. They seem to be a different breed of LE. They must hate their job.

So the Shawnee Gun Show is the 16 and 17th also??? I've gone to that one before and it was good!

Thanks for that laugh.

Sounds like an urban myth, but then again I wouldn't put it past the .gov to do it. Also it a perfect case of entrapment if we had legal federal courts, which we don't.

"tis no myth. A good friend of mine who deals in ww2 artifacts used to sell and trade a few guns also. ATF paid him a visit at the gun show, and now he only deals in non-gun items.

You know those old guys buying and selling Nagants and Mausers are creating a real crime wave.

I have no doubt they are at the shows. They do specifically look for people dealing without a license.

I'm talking about them setting up a table undercover, selling an item at a discount, then find that person they sold a discounted firearm to, approach them and offer double and after the sell, arrest that person, as stated earlier in the thread.
