Not in the Northeast either. I know many, many people in NJ especially after Sandy that want/got a gun. Even in so-called safe towns people realized that if all of the police are guarding the gas stations and intersections then they will not be able to respond to 911 calls and crime as quick as they were. Many push-ins, looting and robberies happened after Sandy.

Many people's eyes were opened.

Then add the terrorists running around in Boston, "shelter in place" martial-law and the Gestapo doing house to house searches is definitely opening people's eyes.

I am glad to hear that.

I have family that live in NJ and, since I have been bugging them about prepping for a couple of years now, they were better prepared than many in that area when Sandy hit. A couple of my relatives also bought guns beforehand.

There’s a gun guy on youtube who runs the Military Arms Channel who said it best, “The police, firemen, and paramedics are not first responders. You are the first responder.” Never heard truer words.
