Law-abiding Americans rushing to their local gun shops and/or sporting goods stores are good for the economy!

Afternoon Biggirl
Earlier this morning, I stopped by the gun store/FFL where I worked part-time: the large parking lot’s overflowing, and the line’s out the front doors, down the steps and deep into the lot. I went in thru the loading dock (section I worked in), and it’s controlled chaos inside the showroom and indoor ranges. The floor ammo pallets are empty, and they’re waiting for deliveries. After helping out for over an hour, I had to leave for some previous commitments.
Excellent! Good to know smart Americans are preparing to defend themselves.
Afternoon!
This is a little off topic, but I want to say something about the so-called “Planned Parenthood” shooting in Colorado Springs on 27 November.
Something that’s getting lost in the stories about this shooting is the fact that it didn’t start at Planned Parenthood. It started outside the Chase Bank more than 350 yards away. That’s where the first police officer was injured. The Colorado Springs Gazette reported the following:
“Denise Speller, manager at a nearby haircut salon, said she heard roughly 10-20 gunshots in the span of less than five minutes. She said she saw a police cruiser and two officers outside near Chase Bank, not far from the Planned Parenthood facility. One of the officers appeared to fall to the ground and the other office knelt down to render aid, then tried to get the officer to safety behind the car, she said. Another officer told Speller to seek shelter inside the building.”
In addition, at 4:53 p.m., shortly before Robert Lewis Dear was taken into custody, Awr Hawkins of Breitbart reported, “Colorado Springs police chief Catherine Buckley says Colorado Springs PD has personnel in the Planned Parenthood building affecting rescues. She said officers are also rescuing people from the strip mall to the south of the Planned Parenthood building.”
Hawkins also reported that “Fox News talked on-air to a witness at a nail salon near the Planned Parenthood clinic who ‘first thought [the incident] was a bank robbery.’ Cell phone video captured by the witness appeared to show a Chase Bank branch as the first location where law enforcement moved in. The witness said the suspect ran from the bank to the Planned Parenthood clinic.”
I haven’t been able to find out exactly where the three victims were killed. Was it outside the bank or outside the Planned Parenthood building? Everything I’ve read indicates that none of the killings or injuries occurred inside Planned Parenthood. The only report of the suspect saying anything about Planned Parenthood consisted of five words: “No more baby body parts.” Police reported this was part of a long, garbled rant on other subjects, indicating the suspect had more on his mind than Planned Parenthood.
I think there’s considerable evidence to suggest that Planned Parenthood was simply the building in which the suspect attempted to evade capture, and not necessarily the focus of his attack. The Colorado Springs Police Department is saying very little as they investigate the incident, probably not wanting to report anything that later proves to be inaccurate. If I could find out where the 12 victims were killed/injured, it might clear this up.
Like Al Qaeda WAS??? What a fool.
You. Are. 100%. Correct.
It wasn’t about PP.
It was a botched bank robbery.
Excellent!
Thanks, carriage_hill. I’ve just read that the judge has ordered all of the arrest and court records sealed “until the termination of the case or a further order of the court.” Why? Is this usual in a mass shooting case?
Obama is not being "respectful" of the larger region, he's speaking in code that he supports the idea of a Middle East without an Israel.

Good point, PJ.
Hello all...UConn going to St.Pete Bowl dittos...
When I first heard about this last Wed, the initial CNN-ABC-NBC-CBS-Fox online reports ALL said “Chase Bank”; 15-20 mins later those words disappeared and “PP” became the site. The TV broadcasts had already switched to PP, but showed the bank and access rd to PP. Even the shooter’s car’s final location had been scrubbed from the reports. This whole thing stinks.
