Got any local shops in your area? I'm sure they could use the sales.

How is the ammo supply out your way? Supplies are still sketchy out here.

That's because people are waking up to what is coming, and are scared.

I wish they woke up sooner. :(

from what i am hearing and seeing on the internet,this is just the start,even the police are scared,
that quote came from a police officer,who now says he carries a gun everywhere he goes,especially when he goes somewhere with his family.

Even living in this blue state I see people every day that are getting into firearms in some form. Whether they are buying a home defense shotgun, going through pistol training with self defense in mind or just getting into target shooting. The type of person that is buying firearms is also broadening significantly. I like to see these people getting into it and I do everything that I can to encourage it but it is a shame that so many waited so long. When they start to look at the preservation of their second amendment rights they start to look at their other rights in a different light. Then they start to look at what this country was founded on and where it has gone.

And now Wal-Mart is going to computerized gun forms...so people that dont own or use a computer will have trouble completing the 4473 gun form....cant have help from family or salespeople...gotta do it yourself...so if you mess it up you wont get a gun......so if you are considering getting a youngster or some family member a gun for Christmas...better send someone that is computer literate.....just another way Wal-Mart is screwing things up.... :icon_scratch:

Our family won't shop at Wal-Mart any more. One of my sisters goes in there to move all the products around to different racks and such. This is wrong, but she was let go so the manager could hire his daughter at more money. It is still wrong.

"It ain't Sam Walton's Wal-mart no more"! That's what an Arkansas native told me not long ago. Monty

K-Mart stopped selling firearms after 'Bowling for Columbine' came out. I know this will cause a Firestorm (and probably get this thread sent to 'Rants') but here goes. First off there seems to be an undercurrent theme here that our current administration is going to 'ruin the country' and 'take our guns'. Let's look at the current situation and see what 'change' has been implemented. Bernake is still head of the Federal Reserve, the halls of Congress are still full of lobbyist and you can still buy guns (though there is a 'shortage' driving the price of guns and ammo up). Oh, and let's look at what the former administration was in on as far as 'gun control' http://reason.com/archives/2005/09/10/defenseless-on-the-bayou Notice the FEDERAL MARSHALLS were confiscating.... wonder who they answered to? Hint: was not Nagin. Continuing. Healthcare is still a profit driven industry that addresses cure over prevention and has left America far behind other modern countries in that area (before you go nuts read this http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/health/15book.html?_r=1&em just a relatively short review of a book, interesting perspective). Jobs are still leaving the US and some of us realize that most that have will not be returning, ever (yeah Beaver is bummed and June probably has to take even more valuim to keep smiling, don't know how she walked in those high heels and dress in that state). Hey! Nothing has changed! As far as 'Public Option' ask anyone you know that works for the Federal Govt what their Health Care benefits are and what they pay.... then look at your paycheck deduction for yours, read your benefit package and weep. Not saying we need 'socialized medicine' but we do need reform (read what Newt Gingrich has to say http://orangejuiceblog.com/2009/08/...-reform-plan-by-bryan-mcaffee/comment-page-1/ ). For the record I am member of the IBEW and my health care is paid for by the contractor. I am a hunter and fairly conservative in my beliefs..... but I have to let the facts speak for themselves. Thank You and Have a Good Day :)
