If local and state officials persist in increasing the burden on shows, there will soon be less of them or none. The law of unintended consequences will once again destroy economic growth in pursuit of what looks like a quick fix for a particular problem they think can be solved by MORE GOVERNMENT PAPERWORK.
Holy cow.... a 45 day hold is a killer... With these gold and silver prices moving so dramatically lately anyone buying anything bullion related is going to have to pay WAY less just to cover their butt in a potential 45 day period. I thought my 7 day hold was bad. Other then the duration of the hold all the other reporting is consistent with the laws here... secondhand dealers license & proper record keeping are pretty much the norm everywhere.
I wonder how (if?) they are going to try to enforce this for on-line sales. That could prove interesting.
