Members of the Virginia State Crime Commission said yesterday that clarifying who commercial dealers are might be a way to address concerns about firearms sales at gun shows.
Under federal law, anyone "engaged in the business" of selling firearms is required to have a Federal Firearms License and to make criminal background checks of prospective purchasers at gun shows.
States also can enact laws requiring background checks in private sales. But in Virginia and 32 other states, such checks are not required at gun shows or in any other private sales where the seller doesn't have an FFL.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Will they ever stop? I'm hoping the premises requirement will go the way of the dodo. Wifey and I are looking in to extra money-making options.
