It's generally best to bring enough cash for potential buys. Personal checks can be a hassle. Buyer gets the gun once it's legally transferred and, what(?), the seller gets a piece of paper that may or may not be good or that may take a week to clear once he deposits it after getting back home. Now let's say the seller will accept a personal check while at the VC, he can't use those funds to buy something himself while there.
Really, the financial part isn’t much different than buying a gun from an on-line Dealer. Buyer sends a Cashiers Check or USPS money order and the FFL copy, and the Dealer usually ships the next day. But if the Buyer sends a personal check, the Dealer waits X days for it to clear before sending the gun.
