That's a good sign.
As for the gun show loophole, I spoke to a buddy of mine, and we've been to gun shows in about a dozen states in different regions, and we've never encountered such a thing. We've always had to get a NICS check, and there are signs everywhere reminding everyone that straw purchases are illegal. Is it just pure chance on our part, or is this gun show loophole overblown?
