Whether the sale is in a store or at a gun show, all Federal Firearm Licensee sales require them, no matter the site.

And that 30 states require them for private sales, including family transfers.

The "only 40%" claim is pure bullshit, from a study conducted a decade before they were required Federally.

In the meantime FWIW, the P Stone Nation in Englewood, Latin Kings in Pilsen, et. al aren't getting their guns from a gun store or an Indiana gun show.
