Gun sales Up

Nov 09, 2008 13:24

This was on our local news 2 weeks ago:

Well, yesterday I stopped by the same shop as in the news broadcast. It's almost a hour drive from me, but it's one of, if not the largest gun retailer in the state. It's also not too far from where my wife's family lives ( Read more... )

For the past week I have been visiting my usual haunts (gun shops) in my area of CT. They have been packed! Ammo is going very fast........ I think that all that hard work in the 90's is paying off.

It's an awful thing to say, but I'll say it because I know others think it too- do you could think it could be in anticipation of reaction after expectations are not met?

No, I don't think so. I think it's human nature to want something just because some "higher power" says you can't have it ( ... )

So, did you buy a gun too? :)

Are you talking about Guns N Safes, formerly D'Andreas? I go there every once in a while, and I work part time for a friend who owns a different store in CT.

I'd love to grab a PTR 91 before the inauguration but I don't think the budget can handle it. I settled for an old High Standard 12 gauge instead.

And I used to own a Mopar. A 1966 Dodge Dart with a 318. :) Had to sell it though, now I have a Studebaker instead.

No, the store in the newscast is Hoffman's in Newington. www.hoffgun.com
Funny you would mention D'Andrea's though. I'm within walking distance of Frank's old location. What stop you work at (if you don't mind?)?
I'm not a huge fan of EBRs, really, but the PTR91 is on my very short list. I generally prefer the old stuff. Wood and cosmoline instead of plastic. Mausers, Garands, Mosin-Nagants, Enfields.
I figure the best "Obama gun" for me would be an SKS (I would say an AK type, but they're already banned here) but I already have several. So my next best choice for a gun with wood stock likely to be banned by Obama is the M1A carbine. So that's what I'm (hopefully) getting. Service grade Inland from the CMP.

Also been stocking up on 7.62x25 since I suspect that would be toward the top of the list of ammo to ban.

hell if the ultralibs had their way they'd ban hurtful words and pointy sticks.

I need a Nagant and a .308 converted Enfield myself (.303 too hard to get these days)

mopar November 14 2008, 14:14:29 UTC

Yeah, I do have a stock of .303, but an Enfield in .308 would be nice too. I shoulda picked one up a few months ago when there was a batch floating around.
