It can, and is done regularly. Police or not. And you can probably get
all that stuff right on the streets of Baltimore.

He can save the gas money. I am sure there are guys right there in
Calvert County who would sell him a gun without all of that pesky
paperwork.
The last "private sale" gun I bought in Maryland (the .44 Ruger
carbine) was delivered to my house ... by a DC cop.

And as usual...whoosh. The point was about gun show sales. Of course as a
libertarian,you oppose gun sale rules i suppose.

Actually you are talking about private sales "in the parking lot".
What makes the parking lot of the Cap Center (or whatever corporate
interest has naming rights now) any different than the parking lot of
a Giant Food down the street? Your assertion that a person who wants
to sell a gun illegally would fear a bored cop working the parking lot
is ludicrous and symptomatic of the left's idea that "just one more
law" would solve all the world's problems.



While private sales in the parking lot are part of the problem, there
are also private sales taking place inside some of the Virginia shows,
as has been documented, as well as no background check sales from
dealers inside some of those Virginia shows, which also has been
documented.

I've been to Maryland gun shows at three locations - two smaller venues,
and one very large one. The police presence is substantial, which I like
to see. It's not *a* bored cop working the parking lot.
There were several cops working the parking lot at the show I went to
yesterday, and it was a small parking lot. Plus there were cops inside
and around the show.


And if the seller simply said "Come on down to McDonalds and I will
buy you a big mac", the cops would follow them?

All of that assumes they are actually watching what goes on in the
front seat of every car.

You are also assuming there is a lot of parking lot transactions going
on in the first place and I think that is an urban legend.

It wasn't the Cap Centre, by the way. It was the Equestrian Center in
Upper Marlboro...a much smaller facility. The Cap Centre was demolished
more than a decade ago.

A distinction without a difference but thanks for pointing it out.
That is just another boondoggle foisted on the public by local
government. Sort of like RFK stadium I guess.
