...Local firearms dealers said they haven’t been able to keep that type of firearm on the shelves for months. Scott Hoffman said that since November he hasn’t been able to immediately fill orders for items considered personal weapons. He’s back-ordered in certain kinds of ammunition, too.

“Gun sales have at least doubled,” said the longtime owner of Hoffman’s Gun Center on the Berlin Turnpike. “Business is up at least 50 percent and that’s in a bad economy. It shows you how scared people are.” .....

I must be one of the few people who are 50 years old and have never needed a gun. I don't carry one around. I don't have one in my home. I don't have one in my car. And I'm not afraid that I'll need one someday.

@gungasnake,
Ive had guns but never do I walk out side armed because of grizzly bear attacks. I was attacked by one of our roosters but I just swiped him with a broom.

Are you allowed to shoot a runaway tractor?

Exactly what are these gun buyers so scared of ? And how will more guns improve the situation?

@msolga,
you dont understand Olga, gungasnake is trying to transfer all the ills of the Bush administration onto Obama. He is in a fever mode to post crap from his Nazi friends and racist sources so that we have a daily diet of hate and revisionist tripe.

Hes one of a few of the shrieking wingnuts on 2K.

I find it hilarious that Gunga Dim has paranoid fantasies about grizzly bears.

@farmerman,
(Actually, I do understand, farmer! Wink
I just want him to explain how humungous gun ownership is going to improve things, so people are less scared. Laughing )

@djjd62,
Well . . . if one were not oneself likely to get any smarter, the thought of smarter, fiercer, more hostile grizzly bears could be very daunting . . . i guess . . . it's not a topic to which i've given a great deal of thought. The raccoons around here can be pretty mean, but grizzlies are thin on the ground in this neighborhood.

@Setanta,
Grizzlies have evolved invisibility. They are like Klingons, when they attack, they must throw off their cloaking devices. Gunga is the only one who knew that and he didnt tell us.

Do you suppose he walks down the street backwards, with his hand on his piece, spinning around frequently to fool the grizzlies?

@H2O MAN,
Fboy is just jealous because his AR has an orange plastic tip.
