In states with background checks it might prove difficult if they don't use the NSA databases for the background checks but on some gun fair in Alabama where noone asks for anything, it might just work, right?

And then, when some cops with shady hoods/hats follow you, you may want to preemptively strike them before they enter your private zones. If you wait until they grab your arms it's too late.

And how can the constitution not apply to me while I'm there? Does that mean the laws don't apply either? I can see how benefits such as unemployment benefits do not apply, but a selective application of rights seem shady. After all the declaration of independence reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Do I have to assume that they forgot about the rights for all humans around the time they made the constitution? The whole gun debate always boils down to getting a gun to defend your right to life and the pursuit of happiness. Denying the right to defend your life to other humans clearly goes against the spirit of the DoI.
The constitution wasn't written for blacks and other brown people, so I doubt it was written for krauts on holiday...

I've never really been able to understand how sensible people can venerate a document written by(and allowing for) people who thought it was a splendid idea to kidnap people and put them to work for the rest of their lives, and kill or rape them as they pleased. What a wonderful bunch of idiots that was.
