There are a number of people that have bit the hand.
Florida Gun Shows (Shoot Straight), has decided to ban private gun sales at all their shows. Calls were made to vendors (8/16/19) telling them that only licensed gun dealers will be able to buy guns from patrons and sell guns at their shows. That means background check, waiting period if you don't have a carry permit, paperwork and inflated costs. It also means selling to licensed dealers who are looking for a markup so the price you get will be reduced.
I will not guess at the reason for this though if it is not profit driven I'd be shocked. A guy named Kahlid is the owner and decision maker. This is certainly his right but it is an unacceptable assault on our ability to buy and sell and, thus, shows his disdain for the Second Amendment and for Florida gun owners (who have made him a wealthy man, BTW). Also, when you go to these shows it will be like going to a gun store rather than a true marketplace.
We should avoid all shows put on by Florida Gun Shows and boycott their brick and mortar stores which do business as Shoot Straight.
Patronize Patriot Productions, 2 Guys Shows and the other promoters in Florida that show a bit of concern for the gun owning and buying public.
They will say, if you call, that they are observing local ordinances. Not true. Even where there is a local ordinance, there is an exception for a Concealed Carry license holder.
This isn't a commentary on the benefit of having universal background checks or having all sales go thru FFL holders, it is about a company going the law one better in the name of profit. We gun owners have enough problems without being blindsided by an entity that is supposed to be on our side.
As with Rob Pincus, at this juncture we should not forgive or forget people that sell us out.
BTW, there were a dozen (more maybe) small dealers who made a few bucks trading guns at Kahlid's shows. They were put out of business and had that source of income snatched away on a whim.
That is the other aspect to Florida Gun Shows.
Don't forget. There are better shows and better stores. Patronize them.
I've met him three times and it was just too much like high school. Why are we even still talking about him when no legitimate training organization allows him to teach there.
Right on about Rob Pincus Lee. I did attend two of his one day courses in December 2016. Having attended many other training courses prior to his courses, I felt qualified to write a thorough review of the classes. You will especially like his firearm throwing technique.
