Also, I don't know about other states, but in California (cue to start blasting me and telling me to move) even private sales need to be processed through an FFL. Ain't nobody buying a gun at a gun show here without the background check, unless the seller is willing to take a risk and bypass it. I bought a colt Python in October from a private collector at a gun show, and there wasn't any way he was going to sell it to me without transferring ownership through an FFL. Not that I asked him to, or would have expected him to, but the conversation quickly turned to me finding an FFL to do the paperwork for us.

In New York State it is NECESSARY to have a CHL to even possess a handgun. You need the "State's" approval to defend yourself there!
