I'm so proud of myself, I went to the Conroe gun show this past weekend and DIDN'T BUY A GUN! First time all year I've done that, gone to a gun show and didn't come home with yet another weapon.

The money order has not yet arrived, I am guessing it will on Monday, then the handgun will be over-nighted and I should have it...

Here's a pic from the last show ......

So I guess the only difference between buying a gun at a show and a pawn shop is the 30 day waiting period? What about background checks? What other differences are there? I've never been to a gun show before but always wanted to, just didn't have the money.
