Vendors are responsible for collecting and reporting Texas Sales Tax. 5. Vendor will keep all handguns, rifles, shotguns, magazines, clips, crossbows, and other weapons, whether kept on a table or in a case, and whether for sale (including personal guns), and whether physically inside the show facilities or outside on the grounds of the leased facilities (before, between or after the show s open hours ) (collectively referred to herein as Guns ) unloaded at all times. THIS MUST BE DONE BY THE TIME THE GUN SHOW OPENS. You should have extra ties on hand to put on guns you buy and ones that are cut off to show a gun to the customers. Recheck all guns periodically to ensure that all are tied. Gun ties are available at the front desk. 6.
