Not really. I bought an almost new Springfield Armory XD 9 at a show and when I asked about waiting time, required paper work, receipt, bill of sale, the seller told me that since he wasn't a business, but a private citizen who rented table space at a gun show, none of this was necessary and I walked out the door with my new purchase. On the way out, carrying my new purchase in it's plastic case, people in several booths asked me whay I had to sell or trade. I was very surprised that it was so easy as I was under the impression there was more to it.

Don't get to excited about it, up until Kennedy was shot we could go into a store and buy a gun and walk out with it right them. We could order guns by mail, you simply signed a statement that you were over 21 and whammo! your gun arrived in the mail.

Crime was lower, kids never shot each other in school and citizens could defend themselves at will. Every county in CA let you have a CCW if you passed the background check, you could carry a handgun openly(in a holster of course)and long guns also where ever you wanted(in CA).NYC was the only large city with oppresive gun laws and they had the highest crime rate.

The gun laws they have now haven't stopped, or even slowed down, crime, all they have done is make it harder for citizens to own firearms, and of course that is their real intent and purpose regardless of what anti-gun fanatics say.

Sigh. Could also buy 20 and 37 mm mail order. Solothurns and Lahtis and ammo galore.
