There is a predator on the horizon. It apparently has tripped the self preservation switch. Better late than never.<BR/> <BR/>Reminds me of the scenario in Enemies Foreign and Domestic where they put the semiouto ban in effect. With a week to turn em in, the gunstores were cleared of all semis instead -s-.<BR/><BR/>BTW my usual gunstore did 20,000 in business last week alone in the real world.Mike Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02330656826267706631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-37909336271225676012008-11-25T10:56:00.000-06:002008-11-25T10:56:00.000-06:00I went to cabelas this weekend to look around. wha...I went to cabelas this weekend to look around. what a madhouse. completely sold out of .223 and 7.62x39 bulk. take a number if you even want to look at a gun.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392462801587240497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-68881958936714697962008-11-24T22:51:00.000-06:002008-11-24T22:51:00.000-06:00I've long been looking at hooking up with a friend...I've long been looking at hooking up with a friend when he gets his CNC mill back up, and cutting my own AR-10 lower, so as to avoid the mentioned issues.

That nice fellow, BamBam Obongo, had a secret plan to boost our economy after all.. every manufacturer and supplier of anything arms-related will be doing fine for some time yet, and won't even need a bailout!<BR/>I know it is too late to get any stock in an arms company so I missed that boat... but maybe I can still invest in the fourth wave... ball bearings, PVC pipe, crossbows, axe handles, slingshots and tripwire. Purely for hunting purposes, I mean.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850395662800864408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-21377298600916126412008-11-24T13:04:00.000-06:002008-11-24T13:04:00.000-06:00I think the next layer started to wake up this pas...I think the next layer started to wake up this past weekend.<BR/><BR/>I've never worked at a gun store - before this weekend. As a frequent and apparently trusted customer, the owner contacted me on Friday and asked if I could come in and help out on Saturday. I did.<BR/><BR/>The shop is of course picked clean of most of the firearms and ammo listed above.<BR/><BR/>The number of "never had a gun before" people walking through the door was astounding - as was their propensity to spend money.<BR/><BR/>I can't tell you the number of people that came in looking for a Glock 17 or 19 or XD9 or M&P9(of which there were none, and we have no idea when we'll be restocked) that decided on the spot to purchase an H&K USP or a Sig 226. People walking in expecting a $500 Glock are spending $1000+ without batting an eye - and obviously not considering anything else but "I might not be able to get a gun soon!"<BR/><BR/>My prediction is that next weekend, the run on 40 and 45 begins, to be rounded out later down the road by the more obscure, expensive, and difficult to reload calibers of 357Sig and 45GAP.Skullzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498479084663589864noreply@blogger.com
