Stricter laws could bring an end to local gun shows. New regulations went into effect last week that requires gun shops and dealers to pay a 15-hundred dollar fee, have 24/7 security, and keep computerized records of their guns and sales. The new laws are leading many gun dealers to leave the state, affecting business at shows.
