I found Tuesday's missing lines--------------

and I am sure they were a direct result of the voting earlier in the week. Tim and I went to the local gun show today, and there was a mob there like never before. And not just looking or browsing, either. They were BUYING, big time. I never saw so many cases of ammo being carried out the door, and practically every booth had buyers working with the sellers, doing the paperwork and getting cleared by the state. I think the prices were showing a bit of an increase as well, and people with assault weapons, or anything that even resembled an assault weapons, were pushing them as an investment, claiming they would be worth MUCH more, once Obama managed to get them banned.

I managed to get there 10 minutes before the doors opened this morning, and there was a line probably 150 feet long at the ticket windows, and probably 200 feet long, of people with tickets, waiting for the doors to open. By the time Tim got there, just a couple of minutes after 9, the line at the door was minimal, but the wait at the tickets windows was more like 300 feet long, (and 3-5 people wide, as well.) It was shoulder to shoulder inside, and hard to get down the aisles and see things. We wandered around until about 12:30, making a couple of purchases on the way, and most amazing of all, when we left, there was STILL a line of people buying tickets to get in, that was probably 150-200 feet long! Not that the ticket people were dragging their feet, the lines were moving quite smoothly, but the crowd was unbelieveable!

There is another show yet this year, (and pre-inauguration!,) on Dec 20th, and I'll bet it will be just as well attended, Christmas week or not. And I am sure the prices will not be falling any in the meantime, either. Told Tim I thought we needed to look into reloading equipment, in order to be able to keep shooting at a reasonable $$$ amount. Unless we can get 'big brother' to keep a supply coming, via Fed Ex, or Pony Express, or something. We would be glad to pick up our brass and return it to him for recycling, just to do ur part. OK, big brother???
