from bud's gun shop

[flaps]

After spending the first six weeks of 2012 attending various firearms industry shows, including the NSSF Shot Show in Las Vegas with the highest dealer attendance of record, there was one obvious recurring theme from every manufacturer we visited with...."we just can't make enough firearms". Although we fully expected another surge later in 2012, it has already started as the ATF continues to report all time record highs in background/NICS checks as well as Conceal Carry/CCW permit applications.

I've seen a roughly 100% increase in the number of people I fingerprint for a FL Concealed Weapon Permit over the past 18 months.

I purchased three pistols since arriving in Alabama. I'm one of "those guys."

I like everything about this thread.

Bought two pistols on deployment. Buying a CMP M1, too. Bought at least one, possibly two watches! Fuck!

Good thing I'm not spending anything on this deployment and the ole lady has her own bank account.

Realized I was a gun glutton, so I didn't buy any new firearm for myself in February...but Red loves her new Taurus slim 9mm!

I think I'm just going to build up more ARs when I get back to CONUS.

Since I now have a gun building room of the house, and enough room for an indoor shooting range.

I bought 5 handguns and a shotgun last year.

Good choice if you have to skip one month- February is the shortest month.

Sounds like you may have discovered "Cowboy Action Shooting"! Welcome to the fire...

The two local CA FFL's that I patronize most often have gone from local run of the mill gun shops in 2006 to nearly completely specializing in AR and AK platforms. Even in 2012 there is ALWAYS a small line of customers inside these shops. Californians crave AR's and AK's with Off List Lowers(OLL) and bullet buttons (BB) of course. When you find the squeamish Democrat gun owner near the coast and you start talking firearms- they often open up and gush about their one compliant AR or their one CA DOJ Non-Rostered handgun.

This CA Rifle Flow Chart hyperlink is accurate and some LE keep in their possession as the CA laws are fairly complex.

How was that evolution? Was it as difficult as it Seems?

MB be sure you check out BCM when you are ready. They make a wide variety of excellent uppers at reasonable prices.

With prices for tier 1 stuff so low my AR collection has morphed into all BCM, Noveski and Colt. LMT, and Daniel Defense are also out there at prices we used to pay for Bushmasters and RRA. Good times for AR buyers.....
