Default Sales due to Election

I just got of the phone with Graff & Sons and they said they are being bombarded due to the election. I guess people are afraid that alot of items may be illegal in the future or they will not be able to have the items shipped directly to them.

Not a surprise.. people love to panic. Remember the midnight 2000 millenium scare. There were people stock piling food, water, ammo, gas, generators, and I slept right through it. [&o]

Except this panic is very probably well justified, Dave. Have you checked Illinois senate voting records? Might be very revealing.

To add to that,
For some reason the Sportsman's Guide quit shipping black powder guns to TN recently. I don't know why, places like Cabelas still ship them here so it isn't a TN law. I hear several places won't ship them here anymore...

All this started this year and no one seems to know why.
