Post by: GENERAL-Z on November 15, 2008, 10:54:25 PM
there was a gun show today and tomorrow up here in Melbourne so me and my dad when to see if we could get a good deal on a gun.well when we got there there was about 3000 people there. i was talking to this guy behind me and he said for the past three years hes been there the most he seen was about 400-500 people on both days.there was so many older and younger women buying small guns that would fit in there pursesand taking the consealed weapons course.they were talking about obama is why there buying the guns and stuff.me and my dad bought guns but not there it was way to pack you could hardly move.i bought a winchester 30/30 lever action and my dad bought a 12GA Remington 870 super magnum. the reason we bought them is because obama will raise taxes on guns and ammo 500%

I have heard alot of the same.... And thanks for sharing....  Hey perhaps the gun sales will boost the economy, just a joke folks, but it would be nice.  I was at the races last night, and I heard a lot of chatter too, people are concerned, not only about this but what might happen.  I know this topic will probably get moved to political, but from I was hearing last night, is ppl are worried that someone might make an attempt on Obama's life, and that will cause riots and stuff.

I for one did not vote for the man, nor do I agree where he stands on various issues, such as Gun Control.  But I surely do not want to see any attempt on his life, he is our President elect, and like it our not.  PPL wanting to make an attempt on his life will not solve anything, it will only make matters worse. 

But I will say what I heard last night from ppl, was that they were concerned.... And they are taking measures to ensure their family would be safe, and that is really a sad day in America.....

The wife and I took the CWL course last Wednesday.  I bought the S&W Compact MP40 (40 cal hand pistol) and I bought the S&W Compact MP9 (9mm hand pistol) for the wife.  Spent over $1,000 on the guns and another $300 for the course.

I think the wife and I are about to run down the CWL road too. I think its time, crime is horrible and my wife and I don't want to become victims.  ;)

Why is everybody freaking out?  Obama is supposed to be bringing Change We Can Live With.  Everything is supposed to be better; don't have to pay our mortgages anymore, don't have to get a job, free health care, free ice cream and kool-aid.  What happened to Utopia?  All this Change was supposed to make people happy and secure and now you are running out and buying guns and ammo.  What happened?   :(
