Re: Austin Gun Show Troubles?

It's starting to sound like the APD-BATF-whoever didn't do anything illegal, but was definitely unethical. They used their position of authority and power to coerce the owner-leaser into changing the conditions of the lease by basically saying, "you want to do the right thing, don't you." The spineless owner-leaser felt like they were in a no win situation and didn't know any better. Or they are just as bad as the APD & BATF. I think some of you have stated that such changes must be agreed upon by both or all parties to be valid or damages could be awarded for applying changes without all in agreement. I wonder if the show promoter will go that route.

Re: Austin Gun Show Troubles?

Were the Saxet and Texas Gun shows both held and the same HEB location? If they were then Austin's analogy works. However, if not then I would amend his analogy to be a different hotel entirely where the illegal or questionable activities took place.

For my clarification, is it illegal for me, a private citizen, to sell to a felon or is is it just illegal for the felon to purchase or possess a gun? Never mind all the caveats of which state I'm in or what kind of felony it was and all that. I just mean in general. I wonder since I don't have access to or the ability to do an NICS or background check on someone or apparently the requirement. I can understand that I might be in trouble if I knowingly do this, but if I don't know the person is a felon and I'm not required to check will I still be in trouble?
