Not surprisingly, reports of heavy crowds at this weekend’s gun shows abound. What I saw at the Asheville Gun and Knife Show was replicated across the country. Below is a bit of tab clearing on reports on the shows from both the media and from other gun blogs and forums.
From the comments section of Sipsey Street Irregulars. Mike couldn’t get to the Birmingham Gun Show so asked for reports.
From The AK Forum which has a great panoramic picture of the line waiting to get into the Portland Gun Show. It also has links to reports on other gun shows.
A couple of different reports from Arfcom. One here and the other here on the lone protester at the Roanoke Gun Show.
Now for some from the media:
Winston-Salem, North Carolina which also reports on some protesters at the show.
Rochester, New York. This report makes sure to find “hunters” who don’t like handguns.
The list could go on and on. The bottom line is that people are voting with their feet and their wallets on the Second Amendment. They are going out to the gun shows and they are, to be frank, in panic buying mode.
