I won't be doing any gun buying. Even before the kenyan won the vote back in 2008, I was working hard to accumulate everything I might want when 'things went bad'.

I spoke with my BIL today. He owns and runs a gun shop downstate. He said things have been very busy and he can scarcely keep Ruger and Smith and Wesson AR's on the shelf and his main supplier is out of them currently.
He does have a DPMS sportical and a Bushmaster on the shelf at this time, though they probably won't last long.
You'd think we were at or near a saturation point with black guns after the last run on them, but it appears that some folks want more than one.

Oddly, my local shop was fully stocked and not particularly busy yesterday afternoon. The manager told me he wasn't expecting another mad rush this time unless there was actual legislation being voted on. I think he's wrong, based on what you folks are saying. It must just be taking longer to get out here in the boondocks.
After Sandy Hook, this store was wiped out of black guns within a couple of days. They couldn't even get a Mini-14 in stock.

I was in Sportsmans Whs this afternoon. They have a pegboard where they hang all their handguns. There were a LOT of empty hooks.

I don't understand this panic buying spree...
The one after Sandy Hook with Democrats in dominance, maybe. But it's a different picture today. No anti-gun legislation will get much traction from the national level.
I'm sure there will be some gun control states masturbate themselves with new legislation, but don't see that causing a mad rush to the gun counter.
If Obammy is going to pen an executive order he'd better get busy. That action alone will put whoever promises to wipe it off the slates into the oval office.

I'm trading my G20 and a couple other guns off for a 10mm Sig220 and an AR for my boy. No frenzy..... Been my plan for a while.

My wife wants to get a CCP and a gun. I need a different one myself. After Christmas we might splurge and get us both outfitted. I like the looks of Ruger's LC9s.
Muslims aren't too numerous around here but druggies are committing more crimes all the time.

You may be right about that last point, but do not underestimate Obama's potential to inflict harm. If he thinks he can do it, he will. We already know that he is committed.

My LGS was pretty slow yesterday. A couple of newbies buying Glocks was all the activity I saw. The Salesman was on hold with NICS about 20 minutes, before he actually got a live body on the phone.
Plenty of AR-15's on the shelf, and ammo too.
I'll probably pick up a AR Pistol in 300 BO for suppressed hog killing at the Ranch, for my Christmas present. I've already got plent of AR15 Rifles, mags, and ammo. Have had them for a LOMG time.

Sam, Buy a Glock. Model 17 or 19 is hard to beat, if you want a 9mm. You'll thank me later.

Gun shows have been balls to the walls here for years. Them Cubans are well-fuggin armed, folks. The Janet Reno schit wouldn't flush so well these days.

I get paid next Wednesday and we will be buying a handgun we've been looking at for a long time. Wife and I are taking the concealed carry class as our Christmas present to each other.

Was dragging my feet about getting one of the Colt AR's. Went ahead and bought one today just in case the panic sets in.

I have an AR15 OR with less than 30 rounds Down the tube. Been trying to sell it for over a year at $695. Guess I will raise the price now.
