20 Cases? How many rounds to a case? Just picked up 1000 rounds of 556 (223) myself.

Yup! Even the blue staters are freaking out! LOL! This is what happens when you “elect” someone who you know absolutely nothing about. We do know everything we need to know about the Palin children though so that is good.

I just ordered another 440 rounds of 7.62 x 54R (Russian) myself. I’m short on .22LR and .38 Special right now.
I guess I need to start buying in larger quantities. My kids can go through a 500 round brick of .22 in a two hour visit to the range.

Without reading the whole article, if the gun purchaser is only buying because he's afraid they will be outlawed, it sounds like these are his first guns. If he is only now preparing for self-defense, where has he been? And, what does he foresee that he'll actually need to defend himself?

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania...
Didn’t those states vote for Obama?!

Front page article in today’s local (Ct.) paper saying exactly the same thing.

Those are some good questions. I look at my new purchases as investments. As long as they are good working order I can see them appreciate over time if certain policies are enacted.
Plus, I would rather have them and not need them then not have them and need them.

Are we paranoid? Or are we making sense. I bought a small calibre rifle and 500 rounds. Bought it a month or so back and haven’t fired it yet.
BTW, fired expert in the Seabees.

I went to the Saxet gun show here in Austin and all the dealers were completely out of 9mm ammo. Academy, Cabela’s and Walmart were reportedly out but I stopped by Academy and they had some. Everyone was talking about the increased sales of guns and ammo.

Local Wal-Mart is out of .566 and 38 Special they did have the 32 cal. I need for my 1914 Mauser automatic pistol ($18.12/100 Remington).

I have wondered if the same increase in sales happened when clinton was elected?
