I'm sure the background checks they do for WCP affect these numbers so I doubt they indicate an increase in sales exclusively.

The “article” only mentions one state.

Maybe, maybe not. I got more new guns that I got permits in the last year! LOL!

I've been doing my part. I need my water-cooled credit card every time I set foot in United's consignment section...

States Where Gun Sales Are Increasing the Most – 24/7 Wall St.

Colorado state legislature earlier this month had the first hearing of a bill that, if passed, will require a three-day waiting period for the purchase of a firearm in the state. The bill, part of a package of gun-control measures introduced by state Democrats, would make Colorado the 10th state...

The permits are a separate category in the NICS report.

You have to hit the little arrow on the picture and go backwards.
No surprise, Illinois is second, followed by Oregon, California, Colorado...

I have several friends that I thought would never own a gun but are now getting their carry permits.
It's really becoming a jungle out there.

I had my wife get her W&C just to boost the numbers up.
And so she can be in the car with a gun and the kids if I need to step inside someplace prohibited.
But mostly to boost the numbers.

And with her DD214, the process was cheap and quick.

Odds are at some point there will be ! Especially living in close proximity to Bloodymore ! Just remember who the politicians are that are enacting and sanctioning the Government sponsored Chaos !
