It depends on the jurisdiction where the gun show is held. There is no state law requiring NICS checks on casual sales. However, the Florida Constitution provides a "county option" to require them. In Hillsborough County there is a background check and three working day wait on any firearm sale that occurs on public land. Hence the shows at the Florida State Fairgrounds here are subject to the law. Technically any offer made at the show, even if the actual sale and transfer takes place elsewhere is still subject to the ordinance. Good luck enforcing it though. Shows in some other counties or private venues are not.
