In the United States, a gun show is an event where promoters generally rent large public venues and then rent tables for display areas for dealers of guns and related items, and charge admission for buyers.[1] The majority of guns for sale at gun shows are modern sporting firearms.[1] Approximately 5,000 gun shows occur annually in the United States.
