#1 A friend and I visited a long established (52 year) retailer and wholesaler near Columbus, GA. yesterday. The parking lot was full and the store was packed with shoppers waiting in line to process their purchases. The large rack inventory was quite low. The owner and sales staff of six looked haggard and bewildered.

I suspect a media driven fear of a possible Biden win in November may be feeding the buying frenzy.

#2 You all keep ignoring that we are politically in 1860 redux. The socialists want to keep their slaves, by any means necessary.

#3 I account for one of those in June and one in July.

Here in NH the paperwork has been taking 2-3 days, assuming you could find what you wanted.

Filled out the papers yesterday for my wives M&P shield (b'day present) and they said 24 to 36 hours......called before I got home to say it was all done.

I like NH.

#5 I suspect a media driven fear of a possible Biden win in November may be feeding the buying frenzy.

The current Antifa/BLM riots and general lawlessness — and the recent attempts to expand them to the suburbs and smaller towns — are enough to get people to gun shops now. I’ve seen several stories in recent weeks about Liberals for the first time in their lives feeling the need to buy a gun for protection, and discovering the process isn’t anything like it’s been described.

I suspect concerns about Mr. Biden will ramp up in October.

Its not a tefilin, it's a helmet mount with a camera mounted on top of it.

#11 Re #2, from up on the Hill...

My lawn is a patch of perdition;
My house? By neglect, demolition.
This gentrification
Is wreckin' the nation...
They're stealin' my Gran Bobalition!

#12 Ref #6 Why is that Alabama firearms instructor wearing a tefilin on his helmet?

It gives +2 speed and reduces reload time by 5%.

It has a 3% occurrence in an supply drop.
