Gun show parking lot deals — anyone do this?
At the Dallas Market Hall Show I always see people buying/selling/trading in the parking lot. Is this normal in your state? I've seen some good deals out there but it feels weird.

+1 on this. My buddy had the same issue and switching to Tier 1 Axis Elite fixed it for him.
I had the opposite experience honestly. But everyone's different I guess.

Been vending shows for 15 years and yeah, parking lot deals happen at every show I've been to. As long as you're following state law it's fine. I actually prefer people do their private deals out there rather than trying to undercut my table prices inside lol.
Parking lot deals are where I find my best ammo scores! Last show I got 1000 rounds of .223 for $280 from a guy who bought too much. Way better than table prices inside. Just gotta be careful and know who you're dealing with.
Oh yeah, parking lot deals are totally normal at Market Hall! I've done plenty of them - just make sure you know your state laws. Texas allows private sales between residents without paperwork. I've picked up some great ammo deals out there, especially bulk .223 and 9mm. Just use common sense and maybe bring a buddy.
Parking lot sales are legal in Texas for private parties, but make sure both parties are TX residents and eligible to own firearms. I always recommend getting a bill of sale with ID info just to CYA. Some states prohibit this entirely, so know your local laws before participating.
