Gun Sales Up; No Sign Of Slowing

A local sporting goods store said gun sales have jumped exceptionally since President Barack Obama was elected and have not slowed since.

Sporting Goods Discounters in Cambria County is advertising that it wants to buy used guns because workers said they can't keep them in stock.

All types of firearms from small handguns to shotguns are selling quickly, and workers attribute that to a new administration.

Workers said gun owners look at Obama's past voting history on guns and fear he will place higher taxes or even place a ban on guns.

Just trying to help. And you never know when you might want a pistol that can hit at 100 yards, and go through car doors or kevlar.

Just went to my favorite gunsite and saw on with holster and 2 clips for $175.

I’ll be on the lookout for one. Looks like a good sidearm to fill the power, accuracy and distance gap with.

Must have hit all 5 Walmart stores in my county. They’ve been out of ammo for months now.

WHEN the gun-grabbers come to my house,

I can't believe how people think it's going to happen in such an open way.

It won't, just like the 'Fainess Doctrine' won't occur with a full frontal assault.

It will be a series of small battles, no one of which will (in and of itself) be much of a threat.

Odds are greater than 10,000:1 that anyone will satisfaction of directly facing down anyone there to physically take the weapons. Our enemies are far too clever.

Nice to know that The Kenyan can stimulate at least one sector of the economy.

What is the mag capacity? Is the barrel fixed or floating like a 1911?

You bet. WHEN the gun-grabbers come to my house, I’ll tell them I don’t have any. By the time they have a search warrant,

Sorry, by the time they get to this point search warrants will be replaced with writs of assistance. Make no mistake about it, if they are ready to dispatch the 2nd with no respect, they WILL NOT bother respecting the 4th.

Here's my tip of the month: there is still a great pistol and ammo deal out there waiting for you.

Thanks! I'll look for one at the next gun show. I guess I need a 308 as well? Suggestions? Probably I will have to choose between the 308 and a Mossberg, unless the Money Fairy drops some more off.

Or would that be an advance on next month's tip?

I’d jump on that sucker. It would also be a great cache gun. Just get a small ammo can, put in the pistol and mags and fill it with ammo and hide or bury it. By the time you need it, you’ll be glad to have a pistol that goes through armor.

For sure. You obviously can't always have a rifle with you, so it's nice to have a pistol that can play tag at 100+ yards, and even go through a car door at that range.

The mag holds 8 in a single stack. The barrel locks up and unlocks like a 1911, but the linkage is different and it’s very tight and precise, lending to its great inherent accuracy.
