Went to a gun show here in Tucson yesterday. I can`t believe the amount of people there & the amount of business the vendors were doing. The hottest items were assault weapons, concealable semi-auto handguns and ammunition. I saw people leaving with 4,5 even 6 cases of ammo at a time. Mostly .223, 7.65x39, 9mm and .45 ACP. Every vendor that was selling bulk ammo had 10-15 people waiting in line to buy.
We got there ~2 hrs after they opened. There was a line of aprox 75 people waiting to get in. We stayed about 2 hrs but it was just too crowded. We left at 12:30 Pm & there were 150-200 people waiting to get in. I`ve been going to gun shows for about 20 years but have never seen anything like this. ![]()

Yup......President Elect Obama is the BEST thing that ever happened to firearm and ammunition manufacturers world-wide, and retailers in the US.......at least until he gets into office and has some authority.

Hey if you guys go to these shows, pass out a flyer or something about us. I have been trying to get some more site traffic but it's difficult without a lot of sites linking to us. It was like this with DTR. Took a year or two to gain a steady stream of new users. So anyways, wish I was in that business!!
