I think the High Caliber show is in Houston this weekend.thanks for the heads up.... looks like the Houston gun collectors show is at the end of Sept. Hopefully Im in town that weekend.
Hi. I am new here and from Nebraska. I was looking for info on rifles and ended up here. I agree about a swap meet. I go to gun shows in Nebraska and Kansas. I am legally allowed to buy firearms, but don't want my name on any lists, so I buy only from private parties. In Nebraska, to buy a handgun, you must have a Concealed Carry permit, or a Permit to buy a handgun. There are no permit requirements to buy a long gun. However, the last two gun shows that I went to, all the sellers had agreed among themselves to ask for one of those two permits before selling ANYTHING, even a long gun, even though it is not required by law. I was looking for a single-shot 12ga. shotgun at the time. So I left without buying anything. They even charged admission to get in. I was not happy.Exactly. A "swap meet". No dealers or bills of sale would be am new here allowed. Only weapons and ammo. No jerky!

What is the situation at your local gun shows ? I would be willing to drive a fair distance to attend a gun show if I had a reasonable expectation of finding some interesting treasures there, even as far as Texas. I am retired, and enjoy weekend trips sometimes. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for your reply. I am mainly interested in rifles and shotguns. I have recently been interested in getting a lever action in .22 caliber, or maybe a lever-action fancy cowboy gun. A trip to Texas would also score me some good Tex-Mex food and some good barbeque on my trip. I will be checking out this excellent site to hear about some guns shows down there.FFL vendors here will make you fill out a 4473 and do a background check. If you have a Texas License to Carry(LTC) the background check is waived.
Some vendors can and do the background check anyway.
I was under the impression an out of state resident could not purchase a handgun in Texas unless they have it shipped to their FFL in home state. There is some exception about long guns.
Dealing with individuals is a private sale and not regulated unless you volunteer information which would prevent the sale. Example: I’m gonna kill my cheating wife with this baby!
Our shows don’t have anything yours in Neb. have.
