Gun shows; require background checks before transfer of firearm.

SB 2123 requires background checks for firearm transfers at gun shows when the seller is not a licensed dealer. It mandates that non-dealer sellers arrange for a licensed dealer to conduct a background check through the Department of Public Safety before a transfer occurs. The bill exempts antique firearms, family gifts, estate transfers, shooting range use, firearm repairs, and short-term loans (up to 72 hours). Violating the law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine, and a two-year firearm possession ban, with potential civil liability for damages if the firearm is misused.
