Are background checks required for sales at these gun shows? Thanks.
yes they still do backround checks

of course they are if you are buying a gun, why do you ask jeff.
Clark: waiting time for a background check in CO is currently over a week. Its an inconvenient situation and could cause big problems trying to buy a gun from a vendor at a show.
I was just at Cabela’s and had a background check done within 20 minutes.
He was talking about last year. Look at the dates.
I have bought 3 guns at these gun shows all with background checks done there, longest wait was over night as I was late in the afternoon on Sat. Usually it is 10-20 minutes
Look at the date on this post. This is terribly outdated information. Wait time is about 10 minutes.
if selling or trading private party at a gun show, is there still a background check at a gun show? this will be my first in colorado so not sure how all works.
It's not too horrible, you can run the check at the show and then when it's completed you can go to the vendors place of business to pick it up… inconvenient, but manageable… The worst part is that with demand so high right now, prices at gun shows are mediocre at best.
or u do the transaction and when cleared, they mail to your FFL–I don't know if they give you a break with shipping and if they require payment at time of background check submittal. You will find firearms here that you can't get in a gunstore at the present time.
private party as in walking around and buying a gun off an attendee's back, its' a cash exchange and most common folk will ensure you have a valid drivers license–a conceal carry permit is worth it's weight in gold.
It's really not a big deal. You complete the background check and pay $10 to have it done. You then wait until you are cleared. You will get a call from the folks holding your gun and you just meet them to pick it up. You will sign again that you have indeed received the gun.
Can't wait!
This will be my first gun show! Can't wait to go and buy me a new gun!
Good luck Diana. Hope they have some!
They will have a large variety of guns. Shop around because you may find a certain gun you want at more than one table.
I do not see admission price listed anywhere.
Yep. Tried calling expo ctr & RK gun shows for admission price, no luck. You can go to RK shows website for $1 off coupon though; rkshows.com
8.00
Admission is normally anywhere from $6-8 for a gun show but all are different.
9 or 10 bucks.
people paid $50 bucks a seat to go to the nut cracker.
How do I go about getting a background check to purchase a firearm? Us it good for the state of Colorado or just the store/vendor I'm purchasing from. I'm in the Army if it makes any difference.
The check is run at the time of purchase. It's not something you can go have done beforehand.
If your lucky enough to find a gun, its almost as hard to find the ammo at a a good price.
Go to the Ammo Kan booth at the show. They always seem to have ammo for a large variety of guns and at a fairly reasonable price. The more you buy the better is the deal.
I am looking to get a Walther P99. Any sellers that have it?
a q hora vamos?
How much is admission?
Is it worth going at 1:00 on Sunday? Stock might be very low on ammo and a small selection of guns available. Any word on this from someone that has attended today?
Biggest waste of money ever. The gun show now charges admission for children. They only had a few booths selling guns the rest were all selling junk. I would say about 2/3 the booths had nothing to do with guns and ammo. It was like walking through a carnival. We had venders yelling come try this come try that. All the guns I found were at least 2-3 times MSRP and still charged tax and credit card fees and added $10 for background check.
I have two polymer AR15 lowers and ten 30rd polymer mags. Private sale, no wait. $250 each for lowers and $40 each for mags. Email me at normlguy123@aol.com.
I have never gone to a gun show before. Is there an admission fee? Can I purchase the gun that day and take it home that day? How would I know if they have the gun I am looking for? Someone with knowledge of this please respond to my FB account. I am looking for a P22.
They all vary, usually a charge to get in and you need a permit to buy a hand gun you usually have to have a background check or a gun permit. They vary in what they have to sell depends on the vendors.
Anybody know how much admission is? I don't want to get there and have to pay an arm and a leg because we have 5 kids and 2 adults.
How much is it to get in
Anyone know how much a typical gun show costs? This will be my first.
Will there be anyone available to purchase antique guns?
Costs vary from $10 to $20
also, usually free for military
Nope, military is $1 off the admission price of $8. Kids 6-12 are $2.00.
what is admission for this weekends show?
Hey Jim,
Gun Shows of the Rockies does not list their admission prices. From the comments I’m seeing anywhere from $8.00 – $10.00. You can also contact them here:

$8 for adults, children 6-12 are $2.00. Not worth it! Most vendors don’t have guns or ammo.
Show was garbage for the most part, as usual. Only a few vendors had more than a handful of guns, boxes of 500-550 round of .22 LR ammo were selling for $50-65 dollars.
I heard it’s higher prices to purchase at a gun show but not sure. I’m looking for my first shotgun and have one in mind. Should i spend the money on the gun show or purchase elsewhere? Any advice?
Is this one of those shows that let military in for free?
Went to the “gun show” today and it look like an indoor flea market. Not one gun in the building. A terrible waste of $5 and my time. NEVER again!
Everyone needs to read up on the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty in their website! un.org! If put in place on December 24th 2014 it will allow further tyranny against the American people and try to pursue confiscation, ammo, parts, brass, ect… Infowars.com has plenty of articles and info on this frightening matter! But seriously it’s on the website for the U.N.! Stand up America!
Can you open carry your pistol in the show?
Not loaded. All guns have to be unloaded and strapped.
