Gun show Question?
I went to my local gun show for the first time in a long time and
I saw a bunch of sellers were selling AR 15 type parts, kind of kit
guns so to speak. They had everything you could think of. I ask the
dealer what it was all about, In my State they are band. He told me
they were a Key gun that had to have a special key to remove the
magazine. Whats with this, I've never heard of this before, or even
read anything about them. And I've had a ccw for 40 yrs.

Sounds like a good sale pitch 0 -
What I don't understand is how They can sell Switch Blade Knives at Our Gun Shows when They are totally illegal in My State.
I have picked Them up and played with Them and They are actual Switch Blades.0 -

I think that they are allowed in Arizona ...... noticed several at the gun show here yesterday. Probably only allowed to have ten or less in a box though to keep it within some obsure federal hi-cap switch blade law. [8D]0 -
I have a gun show question ......
How does this "loophole" work that a person can have thirty or forty hand guns, obviously new, and a sign that says "private dealer" ... and not be required to have a FFL?

I don't know.
He probably bought them on a whim and then his wife told him to get rid of them.
Why would anyone care?0 -

In the news a while ago i saw a story about AR-15's being required to have that key so they could not be reloaded quickly or with one hand. i guess the idea is in the event that some psycho goes on a shooting spree but doesn't want to violate the law (except for, you know, murder) he wouldn't be able to reload easily.
wish i could provide more details as to where and when, but it was at least two or three years ago, long before i got into shooting.0 -
Thats what the dealer told me, I didn't ask if it would take
one of the 75 round mags, but I would guess it would, and this
gun show was selling switch blades also. In Ca.0 -
If it was California, he was referring to a "bullet button". California law defines a detachable magazine as being able to be removed without the use of a tool. Installation of a bullet button in place of the normal magazine release requires the use of a tool such as a bullet tip, to remove the magazine. This converts the magazine into a fixed, or nondetachable, magazine under California law. That's how Californians can have ARs as long as they are not specifically listed in the "Assault Weapons" section of the California Code of Regulations.
There is a little more to it that that but it covers the basic premise.0
