Record gun sales

[gunman42782]

It was my day off, but they sold 80 guns Wed, and I would be safe to say we equaled or exceeded that amount Thursday.  Everybody that walked in bought a gun or they bought cases of ammo.  Literally flying out the door.  Like WatchMan said, everytime we tried to call NICS it was busy, so when one of us would finally get through, anybody that needed a check would pile all of them on the guy that got through.  Sometimes was doing checks on 8 people at once.  But, if you had a further review, you where really screwed because you would sit on hold for 30 minutes.  It is crazy.  AR 15s are selling like they are free.  I was told the boss was there till Midnight Wed re-stocking guns, and the way it looked yesterday when I left, he probably will be doing the same.

Just went to the "localist" gun store, (there are 4 in the area, this one is walking distance )
Usually one or 2 guys behind the counter, might be another customer there, not always, decent selection of modern rifles .
8 other customers, 2 of the 3 guys behind the counter were on the phone.
No AK's 3 AR's an PTR91, and 2 SKS's, no extra mags, Wolf ammo, $15/ for 20 rounds. They even sold the Dragonov they've had for 3+ years.
I was there maybe 10 minutes saw 2 Glocks go in that time .
They're telling people whats on the shelf is what they can sell, some of the distributors are so backed up they don't even answer the phone any more.

Walked into 2 LGS today.  Buying IWB holster and grips for the 1911.  First one SOL.  3 deep at the counter.  Counter slaves overwhelmed.  Second, larger,  better stocked, more counter slaves than the first, scored both items.  NICS backed up 20+ minutes.  Limit 2 boxes of .223/5.56, 250 rounds of any other.  Majority of customers in both were women.  Guys doing the normal Saturday gun store BS'ing were left to the clothing/accessory aisles.

Ran into one of the local store guys, what they had is gone, Bolt action, Lever, shotgun, but not a semi auto in the place.

We have sold almost every AR we had.  All the AR mags are gone, all the AK mags are gone, all the lowers, most of the uppers.  It is pure insanity.

We only had 3 ARs to sell today - one POF and two DPMS Sporticals.  We have a boat load of AR15-22s and a handful of AKs and a few Saiga shotguns. The owner shut down any phone sales.  We got a couple cases of Pmags selling for $30 each.  He also suspended employee discounts. It was a little slower today.

Sounds like he's soaking the crazy people to cover expenses till he can restock.

The good news is, if they are still legal in a few years, there will be lots of these for sale super cheap.

Anyone buying for an attempt at a big payday down the road is taking a big chance. In 2009 after the big Hussein scare didn't pan out, prices plummetted on this stuff. It will be worse this time. You don't buy anything high in an attempt to sell higher. They tried that with housing and look at what happened. Like anything, when everyone is running to buy is when you should be selling.

Where were all of these Silver hoarders and "preppers" when no one wanted it at $16.00 an ounce just a couple of years ago? Now they're jumping up and down for it at $32.00. It will be the same here. You have to look at what took place to change this. One guy with one gun and a large body count. We've had them before, and we'll most likely have them again. I remember when Charles Whitman went to work in the Texas U. Observation Tower back in 1966. And a lot has taken place since then. Granted we've become more prone to socialism now than we were then, simply because we're dumber as a nation. This kind of nonsense proves it. You didn't see it before the Dodd Bill passed. People weren't, "running to buy to get in before the paperwork".

I'm not saying an AWB won't be brought up, or perhaps even possibly come into law. But I didn't know sheep could run this fast! Especially when they could have walked just 2 weeks ago and got off 3 times cheaper.

Wolf ammo, $15/ for 20 rounds.
