Utah Gun Shows
Gun shows are a chance for collectors, hunters,
target shooters, plinkers, and other gun enthusiasts to get together to
buy, sell or trade. Many people who have inherited an old gun and
decide to sell it find shows to be a good place to find out what they have
and take offers. Shows also provide a forum to exchange ideas on
political events threatening gun shows and other freedoms. Although
unspoken, the opponents of gun shows probably are as eager to eliminate
gun shows for their ability to influence political events as for any impact
on safety.
Licensed dealers are required to do
a background check prior to selling any modern firearm, the same as if
they were making their sale at their shop. People who are not "engaged
in the business" as a firearms dealer, but are merely selling their own
gun, or sellers of antique guns are not required to conduct background
checks. (In fact the law PROHIBITS them from access to any criminal
history records information.) Some private sellers would be glad
to have an opportunity to ensure that they are not selling a gun to a prohibited
person, but not if it subjects them to a massive record keeping scheme
and registration of everyone who has owned, sold or purchased any type
of gun.
