Apparently another buying panic is underway?
And sales haven’t just risen in Texas. There’s been a rush nationwide, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ( ) reported in Sunday’s edition.
The Cheaper than Dirt gun store in Fort Worth set a sales record for February, said store owner DeWayne Irwin, who described the rush as similar to one seen shortly after Obama’s 2008 election.
“We’re at the top of the roller coaster, and we’re about to plummet down the side,” Irwin told the Star-Telegram. “It’s fixing to happen again. I don’t know if it will be to the same extent it was before, but I see it coming.”
I’m skeptical about the reasons why, but I think it’s definitely happening. It could be that retailers are looking to capitalize on the current uncertainty and are talking up the idea of a panic. Or it could be totally legit.
I talked to one industry insider and he said there is definitely one underway. Of course posts like this one don’t help the situation, but since our readership consists of three guys in Colorado and my mom, I’m not too worried that this blog will make it worse.
However, yesterday I spent about $350 on three different websites and over at Bass Pro. I’m going to tell you what I bought, but it wasn’t gold.
