Gunshops busy!!!

[Bowman78]

Our local shops, PSS and bradis guns have both been extremely as of late.... Is this a trend others are seeing in their respective areas? Is it something to do with the presidential election coming up?

Don't know about the local gun shops, but I ordered some ammo from Widener's last Saturday, and by Tuesday when I hadn't received an email letting me know it had shipped, I emailed them to see if there was a problem. They said that they were just running several days behind in their shipping. It finally shipped on Friday. Guess their business is good! Normally I receive a ship confirmation from them the very next business day (which would've been Monday).

I agree, PSS and Bradis were both packed today but seemed to be dealing with it well.

same every year! TAX CHECK SHOPPERS!

Maybe

It might be because of tax time but I don't think so. This year is seems different

I received great service for my first time at PSS.

I know that when I make my purchases next month, it will involve more than the fact I received a tax refund.

I was at Midwest Gun Exchange in Mishawawka 2 days before Christmas and it was packed. I felt like I was at the Indy 1500.

Midwest Guns on Rush Ct in Elkhart is always packed on the weekends. This is without any sales going on.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

My local shop has sold 25 AR's in the last month alone.

 

[Mosinguy]

KS&E is always empty. Then again there is no space to begin with

I stopped at the gun store on McGalliard in Muncie today and it was pretty busy. I don't know if they were selling anything but there were several people in the store looking around.

PSS has been busy for a long time. I like going in there, but it does seem to be getting worse probably like others have said it's because of tax time. Although I have to wonder how people are getting their tax returns so early.

I have noticed Highsmith's has been busy lately too. they just got some good publicity in the paper twice in a week about them getting approved to open their new store just up the road with an indoor range.

 

[ngonerogwu]

I've purchased 3 guns in the past 3 weeks... Not due to taxes or anything. Just happened to find guns at prices I told myself if I saw, I'd buy.

Now if I get a tax refund..... I'll be one of those buyers too :-)

 

[GunSlinger]

Even Bailey's in Gnaw Bone is busy.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

It does seem like the shops have been busy the past few months. I was in PSS on Black Friday and it was an absolute mad-house.

I know the economy is supposedly in rough shape, but you can't tell it by the amount of foot traffic in the gun shops. It seems like a lot of folks have money to burn on luxury items like guns.

I ran into the same problem with a dealer out of Texas. I ordered a barrel for my Texas Defender and after a weak of the transaction report saying "pending", I called them. They said they were just running behind. I guess with so many people getting their cc permits and buying guns is increasing to the point where they all are cramped with orders.
