Bill Goodman's Gun & Knife Show - Nashville, TN (Dec) 2011

There has been a tremendous amount of publicity both locally and nationally recently regarding the so-called gun show "loophole" and various legislative attempts at "closing" it. Neither Bill Goodman's Gun & Knife Show nor the facilities he operates in takes the operation of their businesses lightly, and there can be no reasonable dispute that they have always operated in full compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.

Moreover, Goodman's Gun Shows regularly reviews and enhances its business practices, meets with various local and federal law enforcement agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, and otherwise demonstrates the same professionalism and pride in the Second Amendment that it always has during its 40+ years in business in general and at Hara specifically. Nevertheless, Bill Goodman’s Gun Shows would like to take this opportunity to point out certain facts regarding the so-called gun show "loophole" that are often overlooked.

What is commonly referred to as the gun show "loophole" is nothing but a derogatory reference to conduct that is specifically permitted under both state and federal law. Sales of firearms at gun shows are no different, in that, state and federal law both permit certain conduct and prohibit certain conduct. Thus, this "loophole" is merely conduct that is specifically permitted under all applicable law, and in order to assist their cause of changing the law, certain groups have invented a nefarious-sounding label for legal conduct. Bill Goodman does not take issue with any citizen's rights to free speech and to petition the government to change the law.
