This may sound goofy, but it has worked for me. Bascially, I type a very brief ad with a price and print it on regular paper, just in the biggest font that will fit and print it in landscape mode. I make two signs, one will be on my chest and one for my back. I secure them by making a "harness" using clear packing tape, one piece over each shoulder. Nothing too elaborate. I do this because IMHO, pins may tear the paper. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the info docslester. I wasn't aware of that law. I guess I won't be selling my gun at the show.

How can this not be in violation of the state preemption law?

People selling long guns at the wpb show carry them on their shoulders with for sales signs attached to wooden dowels inserted in the barrels.

Please post the law you are referencing which states that private sales, even to ccw holders, are " illegal" at the WPB show

I'm a Psl guy and refuse to attend pbc show cause they have arrested people and right or wrong I don't want to lose my licenses.

My thought.

Sell your gun at the show in a private sale to a concealed weapons license holder.........profit.

I like to tape a sign to a wooden dowel and place it down the barrel of the rifle so as I walk around it is high enough to catch peoples eye and the font is large enough to read from a few feet away.

Ok guys, I just walked in the door coming from the WPB gunshow. I looked up the promoter, (guys in red shirts by the door) spoke pointedly to the two pretty polite deputies at the Palm Beach County Sherrifs table at the front of the show, and briefly to the BATFE agents at the table beside them. I politely and very pointedly asked all three "Are private sales between attendees, with or without CCW's legal at WPB county gun shows?" All three stated emphatically "NO." The promoter said it is because of, wait for it, "A county ordinance." He went on at length that they have in the last six months quit displaying their sign stating such as he has gotten tired of argueing with people about the preemption law, but their stance is the ordinance IS still in effect per Florida law. The PBCSO officer said pretty much the same thing, with the added info he has not arrested people for it, but asks them to leave the show, and the county's property entirely, and has not HAD to arrest anyone after telling them that. He also said he fully expects someone to eventually take it to court, but said it will have to go to the Florida supreme court to be put to bed one way or the other(?)

We can argue semantics, whether it's actually legal or not, whether it's right or not, (I say absolutely NOT!), or quote law on this site all we want, but that is their stance on the subject.
