This has always been a pretty good show. I'm going on Saturday morning. Maybe trade an AK to a dealer for a Tisas .45 if I can. I should have gotten a table since I need to lighten my load of gun stuff a bit. In MN because of new laws we cannot sell handguns or "assault" rifles to anyone but a dealer which of course means we will get ripped off.
You can sell them here in Swappin and Selling and get a decent price!

1. Information Regarding the Transferred Weapon: The record of transfer form must contain the type of weapon, the manufacturer, make, and model of the weapon, and the weapon’s manufacturer-assigned serial number.

3. Form Information: The form must be signed and dated by both the transferor and the transferee. It must contain the serial number of the pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon, a clear copy of each person’s current state or federally issued identification, a clear copy of the transferee permit (Permit to Purchase or Permit to Carry) presented by the transferee, and a signed statement by the transferee swearing that they are not currently prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a firearm.
4. Record Maintenance: The transferor must maintain a copy of the record of transfer for a period of ten years from the date of the transfer. The transferee must maintain a copy of the record of transfer for a period of ten years from the date of the transfer.
5. Record Surrender: Both parties involved in the transfer of a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon must produce the record of transfer when requested by a peace officer. Failure to produce this record is considered a misdemeanor.

Thank you M-Tecs. I learned about that today. The show was a bit slow it seemed. Not as much discretionary cash around? Still it was fun. Gun Culture Fellowship and all that.
