Regarding gun sales, what's happening here in Connecticut is following a national trend. More people are becoming gun owners, and experts have said part of the reason has to do with what has been happening at the state Capitol.
Mike Higgins, co-owner of TGS Outdoors in Branford, said he has been seeing a lot more people frequenting his shop.
"We're up about 15 to 20 percent," Higgins said, adding that those percentages are a range of handgun, shotgun and rifle sales.
...
While the gun sales continue to rise, experts say there is no sign of it slowing down. Some experts are saying gun sales are expected to continue to increase this year.
Branford.....my hometown.
I think we all know that “MOMS” angle is complete BS.
The last handgun safety course I took had 61 “students”. 49 of them were MOMS.
Good. I hope each and every conservative and independent American gets a good stockpile of ordinance. Liberals needn’t apply.
Was there and article or link for this? Thank you.
It would be nice to have a link ..

When I took the class for my permit, it was not full of stereotypical nut jobs. Husband and wife’s, mothers, etc. comprised about 50-60% of the class. This was in CT.
The more they threaten to take our second amendment rights away, the more people decide this might be a good idea. PCism is taking away 1st amendment rights. The 3rd is still intact. 4 thru 10 have been castrated by the courts.
Just did Ladies’ day at our club.
Close to 50 women from college age through seniors.
All had big smiles at the end of the day.
Add this to the discussion!!!!
EPA Closure of Last Lead Smelting Plant to Impact Ammunition Production
My theory is that they spent last year buying up standard sized magazines before they were banned. Didn’t register them either. Now they are buying guns to use the magazines in. If so, that would be the ultimate in plans gone awry.
In a word... NO...
Please STOP spreading this lie....

” They also don’t like it when you out shoot them every time. “
So what do the cops say or do when you outshoot them?
Not an ammunition expert - I rec’d the info as an email from a conservative friend.
You will note I posted the link ‘for discussion’.
Two articles with different opinions - which one is true and which is a lie? Let the experts decide.
