I am looking to buy a Glock 22 handgun. I do not know anything about guns and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I want to get the concealed weapons permit as well. I live in Arizona. Thanks.

I would go to www.gunbroker.com to get an idea of the real-world price before going to a store or show. You will be in a much better position to know if you are getting a good deal. Keep in mind however that you probably won't get it at the lowest price you can find on gunbroker because some sellers on that have practically no overhead.
Are you planning on carrying this gun? If so have you considered a glock 27 instead? It's also .40 but smaller and lighter. I have one and find it to be very concealable yet I can still get decent groupings with it.
Regie D - A Glock 22 is .40 S&W not .22. Glock doesn't make a .22. Sheesh.

I've visited a few gun shows, and I usually find the prices to be cheaper through a store or retailer. I don't know the reason why, but the gun show always has that "faire" feeling, and I never trusted buying things at the faire - mostly because you will never see the person again.
Plus, if you buy the gun, get home and take it apart and then you can't put it back together - no one to go ask. If the gun fails to shoot after a few hundred shots, because something is broken in side.... no one to take it too.
The gun shop - even if they charge you - will create a place that you can go too and meet other enthusiasts, they will create a small community so to speak where you can continue to go too for bullets, etc. When you need a new gun, you know where to go, etc.

gun show is good for buy something unique; like cool looking holster. to buy the actual gun, I would go with gun shop. Sometimes, when you buy the membership at your range, they give you like 10-15 % discount on Ammo and guns. You might want to looking into that. You have to take class before concealed weapon permit. Most of these classes are run by NRA instructors. Sometimes, they will get you a good deal on pistol too. Before you buy, call NRA for local classes, and talk to the instructor.

I like gun shows because the variety is better as are the deals. By observation, most vendors at gun shows have their own gun stores. The only difference is that they mark down their prices in order to move the products in a shorter amount of time. The guns can be used but most are "new in box".

The sellers at the shows have lower overhead, so you can definitely find a price deal. However, the quality and condition can be "iffy". Be very careful, even if it is real shiny, a gun can have a damaged firing pin, or a weak spring, or a worn action ... things a dealer would check and fix but a gunshow guy won't, necessarily.
Caveat emptor and you can get a great deal at a show.

It all depends on the seller. At a gun show, expect the exhibitor to mark up the price to cover the cost of his booth. The good news is you can negotiate the price or wheel-and-deal unlike a store. You have to shop around and find the best deals. Never go in to a gun show dying to purchase the first gun you like. Take your time and enjoy yourself. I have found some really good deals at gun shows. And other times, I couldn't find anyone that was willing accept my offer and walked out empty-handed.
Just remember, at a gun show, the exhibitors are competing for your business.

It's been my experience if I want to buy a weapon for a lower price, I find what I want in "Shotgun News" and have my local dealer send the wholesaler a copy of the FFL, then I fill out the paperwork at my dealer.
Most states have permit to purchase requirements, specifically for handguns.. Even if you go to an auction, the auctioneer requires a valid permit to purchase issued by my state.
State laws vary.. See information at nraila.org

the difference in price might be 5-10 percent. they are more expensive at gun shows for a new one. gun shows are good for buying a used gun, but not a new one. go to a store if you want to buy new. go to the gun show if you want to buy used.

It depends on the dealer and the show. Personally I would go to a gun shop. I also like to buy new...at least then you know what you are getting and you get the warrenties and factory support that you wouldn't get from buying used.
