Texas. There's one in Grand Prairie and Ft Worth. The big one that I like is in Dallas at Market Hall. Acres of everything imaginable in the way of firearms. If someone asks if you would like a "test drive", he's usually talking about a full auto and has a place you can go to fire it before buying.

From what I've heard, mind you, I have no idea, You buy said weapon with the understanding that it must operate or the seller refunds your money. These weapons are usually new and there's no problems. There is also the fact that seller and buyer are in sight of each other until delivery.

Well so that means that we pay for the rifle we want and we can test fire the rifle before taking them home right?

Deals are made at gun shows in various ways. By a test firing, usually this is done when expensive items are sold, like full auto weapons. Otherwise, you pay your money and take your chances. Most of these sellers are reputable dealers who make all the gun shows and sell only new or known good weapons. Otherwise caveat emptor.
