Gun stores swamped today

[localone]

My buddy went to Midwest and said it looked like Walmart on Black Friday. So I went to Blythes in Griffith to pick up some odds and ends and I thought I walked into the unemployment off. Sure fire 60 round mags were wiped away fast they said all there ar mags we down to a minimum. It started

nah, it started ages ago. society is in a panic right now, call it a type of -bank run-

i remember seeing this in 2008-9, it took 6 months for it to finally stabilize.

The President's comments after the events of yesterday threw a few more coals in the fire for sure.

Panic buying

We should not be afraid that they will take away our 2nd amendment rights. It is OUR CONSTITUTION, it is not up to the government to decide our rights.

Plainfield Shooting Supply was packed too, you could barely get to the counter. The sales guys said it has been like that most weekends.

Fort Wayne was the same! I drove by Freedom Firearms, parking lot was full, cars lined the streets.

 

[THard6]

i'd say all they're buying a little late!

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

Went by Orion, spoke with DiceDealer today. heavy traffic there too...

That said - if it's an AWB that worries ya - you're too late. Stand up for FREEDOM.

Cabelas in Hammond was a mad house too.

 

[MTubbs1]

Just got out of bullseye in kokomo and it was packed too.

 

[Justin Case]

I was at Bradis this afternoon and it was packed.

 

[Hoosier Glocker]

Fort Wayne was the same! I drove by Freedom Firearms, parking lot was full, cars lined the streets.

Yeah I went by there about an hour before they close and it was still packed, wanted to use the range but didn't feel like dealing with crowd.

Maybe it's panic buying...it'd be nice if it were people coming to their senses and realizing their safety is their own responsibility. But it's probably Y2k/snow storm type frenzied buying.

 

[BEANC0UNTER]

This should be good for the economy!

 

[cobber]

Obviously all the lunatics are stocking up for the next massacre.

It is OUR CONSTITUTION, it is not up to the government to decide our rights.

This is how it should be, but these days you never know what our government will pull on us.

 

[Classic]

You can hardly blame people. I just feel lucky I already have what I need (just not everything I want).

 

[daddymikey1975]

Not sure why, but the gun stores here were packed as well. I went to Midwest earlier and it was standing room only. no where to park. I stopped in for some ammo and the guy said they were almost out of .22LR. He had some 50 rd boxes of Remington HV for $4 each. I grabbed ten of them (seemed to be double what they were a few weeks ago) but their 9mm FMJ was normal priced. For grits and shiggles, I called wal mart, dunham's, Dick's and the other LGS in the area and all of them were out of .22LR for some reason.

BGF was packed and so was ITP.
Picked up a S&W Mp15 stripped lower.

Yea and maybe the NRA will give the Presidnet the "Salesman of the year"award.
