Gun sales are headed for a boom following President Barack Obama’s reelection.
In October, the number offirearms background checks performed on potential gun buyers across the U.S. jumped 18.4%, according to data released by the FBI. The number of applications for gun ownership is considered a leading indicator for future gun sales.
Experts believe the spike is linked to jitters that a Democratic administration might try to tighten gun control laws.
Gun sales also rose in 2008 after Obama was first elected. The FBI conducted 12.7 million background checks that year, compared to 11.2 million the year before, a 13.4% increase.
"Sales are up," John Kielbasa, owner of Fernwood Firearms in Hankins, N.Y. told CNN. “I had a guy waiting here first thing in the morning (Wednesday). He came in, bought two AK-47s."(continued)

Are permits needed in all states?
I use Hi-Point since I’m as poor as a church mouse. Many people here can tell you about other brands.
Hmmmm, I doubt that. I have guns given from Christmas presents as a kid. Semi-auto rifles to boot. I don’t think they have those records.
FYI.....get a Cabela’s credit card and there are times when you can buy a gun for 0% financing for 12 mos.
They usually have one such period near Black Friday......looks like I will be making use of it. Again.

Probably just east of PA. Not sure though.
Gonna try humor again.
If I got a gun in my left pocket and several packets of salt in my right pocket and I’m driving in NYC and worried about being pulled over, which pocket should I empty first?

NRA-ILA is the legal branch of the NRA. It is the defacto source for info on gun laws. Spend a few minutes looking up your state or ones you are traveling or moving to.
“Only in backwards-assed liberal States are there permits to buy a guns”
What about when you buy online?...They just shipped to to a local FFR transfer dealer.....
It isn’t a permit like some dum-assed Illinois FOID card or New Jersey’s gotta ask the cops first permission slip.
The NRA and Charlton Heston were directly responsible for that nasty 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA) that mandated FFL transfers. However, we don’t have restrictions beyond the NICS check, which takes about 15 minutes most days.
Correction FFR = FFL
