I work in a sporting goods store in New Mexico and our gun sales and ammunition sales are up at least 200% since the elections. We can't keep anything in stock and are being mobbed by gun buyers at a rate I have never scene. Is this going on everywhere in the country or just in the West? Pretty soon we will have armed everyone in New Mexico.

I think they are up in many, if not most, places. My husband just re-newed his concealed weapons permit.

Well it even worse in guns that will be targeted by idiotic "assault weapons" band etc.

AR15's SKS's have doubled in the last month.

Thankfully I have a walk in closet converted to a gun safe with my own collection of firearms that I bought when the prices were down

Guns and ammo are flying off the shelves here too, but it is Arkansas. It is mostly handguns, then AK/SKS/AR15s, and then everything else.

Pretty much everywhere. Every major supplier is behind on orders, backordered, sold out, etc.
