By “anecdotal” I meant only that it is based on observations rather than a full-fledged statistical survey of a large number of gun shops. Wonder how Obama feels about this “vote of confidence” in his gun-grabbing agenda?
You are correct of course, observations only. It will be interesting to see what actual sales are for the months of Nov and Dec. More anecdotal evidence this weekend in Reno, Nv - there is a three day gun show. I find it amazing that in a shaky economy people are not hesitating to plunk down $600 for a handgun.
