1. (a) Dealers and ammunition vendors shall have in their possession at any gun show a list of all inventory brought to the gun show. The list shall include the make, model, caliber, and serial number of each firearm, and the brand, type, and amount of all ammunition. The list shall be made available for Department inspection.
2. (b) All firearms sold at the gun show that are in the 10-day waiting period must remain at the gun show for the duration of the gun show.
3. (c) Dealers shall publicly display their local license issued pursuant to Penal Code section 26705, the Department notice confirming the dealer is recorded on the Centralized List specified in Penal Code section 26715, and their Federal Firearms License, or a facsimile thereof, at any gun show.
4. (d) Gun show vendors shall ensure that all firearms in their possession at the gun show are unloaded, and that the firearms are secured in a manner that prevents them from being operated except for brief periods when the mechanical condition of a firearm is being demonstrated to a prospective buyer. To meet this requirement, firearms shall be secured with a Firearm Safety Device approved for that firearm preventing the firearm's operation. Merely tying the hammer back with a string or applying a hard plastic strap through the trigger guard would fail this requirement.
5. (e) All ammunition shall be displayed in a manner that prevents a prospective buyer from accessing that ammunition without the assistance of the gun show vendor.
6. (f) Dealers and manufacturers shall have in their possession at any gun show any large-capacity magazine permit. The permit shall be made available for Department inspection.
7. (g) All Firearms Safety Certificate testing at the gun show shall comply with all applicable laws, including Penal Code sections 31620, 31625, 31640, and 31645.
