I was in an Ace Hardware on Thursday at the line to buy rifles was 20 deep at the gun counter. I was surprised at how many little old ladies (at least 5) were in line too.
In and out took me about an hour last night, from the paperwork to the background check, and everything else. The whole time was non-stop business for the sales people with phones ringing off the hook. Don't bother calling. They don't have time to field queries over the phone. The most common phrase I heard was, "Sir, I'll be with you after these two guys."
They didn't have time for lookie-loos either. People were there to buy.
