Good for marketeers, politicians and talking heads to fuel a run on the product of today's interest. If you know what's next, (besides anything covid associated) let us know.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

People are skerd. It's been quite a year for violence and fear mongering. Around you I can see lots of first timers, but people like Scottie are buying and he already has a huge arsenal. The collective demand is what drives up prices.______________________________________________I love lamp..

So I don’t own any firearms and don’t have any plans to buy any in the near future. Same for my parents, and just about everyone in the neighborhood here.

JohnEggGio said:As I said earlier, buy at current prevailing prices, or do without. My choice was to buy. I'm ok with what I paid. Evidence against "it's not first time buyers". Here, it's quite a rigorous process to get into position to purchase a handgun legally. The prospective buyer must complete 4 hours training with a qualified-approved-registered trainer. Then, it's fingerprinting, national background searches, payment of fee after fee... I received my license to purchase in late July - my license was number ~82,000 - my local FFL told me that in all of 2019 the state issued about 64,000. At that pace, it is a near doubling of individuals seeking to make their first purchase. Not suggesting I have my finger on the pulse of it, but the entity I did my training with is offering more frequent training sessions, and they are filling-up fast - suggesting to me that the pace of issuing licenses to new buyers is accelerating beyond a doubling of last year.

Ozzie_Isaac said:I was upset because I had to wait for 20min at Basspro this weekend to pick up a Glock also. Wanted a new daily carry. Actually had to order it online and pickup at the store. In store has been sold out since April. I know prices, I also know what I wanted. Enjoy the gun. They are amazingly reliable. I have never had a gun related malfunction in any of my Glocks.Maryland, 1 LBGE

I live in the middle of nowhere and have a revolver in the night stand, 12 gauge at front door, can’t remember what’s at the back door but it’s handy, .22 in the shop...
If I had kids it would be different, for guys like @sgh and I guns aren’t a big deal, they are like crescent wrenches, handy but not one size fits all.South of Columbus, Ohio. -

- A National Institutes of Health study found that for each time a gun is used for self-defense, there are 11 suicide attempts involving firearms, seven assaults or murders and four gun accidents.
- Another National Institutes of Health study discovered that owning a gun drastically increases the risk of gun violence in domestic violence cases. They found that a firearm in a home with a history of domestic violence correlates to a 500 percent greater chance that a woman will be killed.
- One study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that the odds of an assault victim being shot increased 4.5 times if they carried a gun, and the odds of them being killed increased 4.2 times.
- A study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine found that using guns for self-defense during a robbery doesn’t lower one’s odds of being injured.

I have had 1 knife, 1 pipe, and 3 guns pulled on me. Luckily, not all at the same time.

Whoa @alaskanassasin I think you scored the trifecta, a triple negative.

Those two guys are very lucky they had issues when trying to break in . They wouldn't have been so lucky if they were able to enter the house.

Ozzie_Isaac said:Nope, never drew on them. I was taught if you draw it is because you fear for your life and you shoot. The guns were stupid road rage people. One got arrested, one got a long visit by the police. The pipe and knife situations ended in fist fights. Nobody died.

WeberWho said:Unfortunately you don't need to live in a dangerous area for crime not to happen. "Money" magazine rated my parents town the #1 city in America to live in. Crime is relatively low but it doesn't mean it's not going to happen. My parents have a camera outside their front door and that didn't stop two guys from trying to pry open the door and break in during the middle of the day. Fortunately they saw my Dad and jumped in their vehicle and left within seconds. They obviously didn't do a very good job casing the house to see if anyone was home. My parents house could have easily been a house with young children in it since they obviously didn't do a very good job seeing who was/wasn't home.
