Swap Meet need input

[Golden Dragon]

I call the Hammond tax dept., the lady say if it's just club member only and not open to the public then we would not have to pay a $250.00 permit and collect tax on sales and trades.


So it would be only open to Bayou Shooter Members and maybe NRA members.

The Banquet Hall is in Hammond and would charge $25.00 per table (day)and $5.00 per person for the cover(door).

Some time in Jan. SAT. and /or SUN.

What do you guys think?

Need feed back keep going with it. How many would be in?

I have been talking with Honestlou who stared this idea and a little busy right now .

From Honestlou


"What will it cost to use the hall? How many tables can be set up, with 2 chairs behind each table? Do they provide table clothes or anything else? I would say to only allow individuals to display private collections. No dealers and no FFL sales. If an individual wants to trade or sell something, there is no sales tax owed or needed to be collected, and that's a big thing. I would definitely say guns, as well as parts, but maybe no ammunition. My idea is to have things that are interesting to look at, and maybe have some trading or sales. But I wouldn't want it to look or feel like most gun shows do now."

The problem is, as I understand it, an FFL has to do the paperwork even on his personal collection.

I would go. Sounds fun and would be a cool way to meet fellow members.

 

[SirIsaacNewton]

I'd be there depending on date.

The op. said no dealers and no FFL sales which would eliminate all with an FFL from buying or selling a firearm. Anyone other than an FFL could Buy/Sell/Trade from their personal collection.

 

[Nolacopusmc]

FWIW, I will be home Jan 11th, so I am game as long as it is after then. The 15th would be perfect for me.

 

[Nolacopusmc]

Could I bring my maxpedition and pelican cases? If this schedule pans out where I can make it, I will place a huge order.

15th is good for me as well not that is I am a deciding factor or anything. I am just throwing that out there.

According to the terms of my C&R license, I can buy and sell any gun I own except C&R firearms without using my FFL OR entering the transaction in my log. This means C&R holders should be able to exchange non-C&R firearms without violating the hall rules.

Damn I wish I could make it, but She Who Must Be Obeyed has ruled out all-day man activities like these. We have a 2-year old, and my wife's aunt who has Alzheimer's syndrome needs her attention. If I take a day off it leaves her holding the whole bag. It's just too much for one person

Bring the Chillen.

 

[sylvest]

I'm down

 

[Leadfoot]

I'm in.

This.

 

[JadeRaven]

I would love to go, but would just be showing up.

Really I could stand to liquidate some stuff so it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a table

How would it work out, though, with advertising, getting in the door, making sure people are just BS members, NRA, etc?

 

[LACamper]

Yep.

 

[geauxbubba]

As long as the Saints aren't playing that day I would be a walk in and probable my son too!
