    Default Went to the Gun Show today.

    Call gun owners paranoid but there is an awful lot of them that are. Maybe you have to live some place like California where it seems like gun rights are under attack a couple times a month to understand.

    Pre-election you could buy AR-15 lowers for $110 in whatever quantity you wanted. Upper assemblies were about $500 and stacked all over the tables. Vendors had even quit carrying them because the market was saturated.

    Today the same lowers were $225 with a 2-4 week back order. There were very few upper assemblies left and they went up about $200-$300 each. The tables that had AR-15 components were packed with guys almost 2 deep. Guys I talked to actually ran through the buildings looking for AR parts as soon as they got in the gates.

    The lines to get tickets and to get in the gates were 2-3 times as long as I have ever seen.

    On another note it seems my AR-15 magazine locks had some interest. I went and gave them away to vendors to check out. I've got 1 order coming in Monday for at least 10. It's a place to start. I have to get more exposure though.
    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

    Sounds like the buyer is still buying do to the uncertainty of the incoming Pres and possible bans on certain items..I don't see that as paranoid but wise.

    My 15 is on order...I've been waiting 8 weeks so far.

    Bought a 'kit' - pretty inexpensive, I'd guess...about $700 (+350? on holographic scope, + $$ on accessories).
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
