Firearms Sales Off The Charts This Holiday Season

Firearms Sales Off The Charts This Holiday Season – With Video

ROCKLIN (CBS13) — If you’ve pulled the trigger on a new firearm this holiday season, join the club.

As in your neighborhood shooting club, because faster than a speeding bullet, guns are going out the door.

Well, not right away, of course — there is that 10-day waiting period, 11 here at TDS Guns in Rocklin, where Bob Norgard wasn’t caught off-guard.

He’s making his purchase today so he’ll have his firearm under the Christmas tree as he joins a growing number of people who say they’re simply “doing what they need to do to protect themselves and their family.”

This surge in gun sales — the best holiday sales season in three years, according to the Firearms Dealers Association — got a shot in the arm on Black Friday.

“Black Friday sales were off the charts this year,” a TDS employee said.

FBI stats show the number of background checks done on Black Friday three years ago pales in comparison to the number done this year — a 32-percent jump.

“People are just coming in to protect themselves,” the employee said. “I think there’s just a lot of things going on in the world that are getting people thinking.”

More women are buying guns than ever before as criminals get more desperate.

Like break-ins while people are at home sleeping. It’s happened twice in a few weeks in a Rocklin neighborhood.

TDS Guns says at least three women from the area have come in to buy a gun because as one victim told CBS13: “I’m gonna be ready for the next time.”

Here in cowboy country it’s a 3 day wait for handgun purchase, no wait for long gun when the background check clears.

That must be a state restriction, as the federal has no witing period. If one has a concealed carry permit, there is no background check required.

I mistated that. I was thinking of the laws in the last city I lived in. Here there is no permit required for purchase of ANY firearm and there is no waiting period on ANY purchase. Yes, a CCW holder has already been cleared by the NICS. I have all the guns I will ever need, and I refuse to get a CCW.

In the peoples republic of California its 10 days for anything….they call it a “cooling off period” in reference to folks buying guns while angry. I guess it sorta makes sense for the amateur …….gives you a period of time to cool down and calmly think of a quiet and quick way to dismember and dispose of the buckshot filled body of the communist neighbor or drunken illegal alien child predator you’ve taken a dislike to, but like I said the keyword is “amateur”……as most of us already own the tools that allow us to do our jobs as citizens.

I bought a totally impractical, but yet totally cool lever action .44 mag pistol for myself for Christmas this year.
