Still more on Gun Sales
In Tennessee:
During the week beginning last Monday, Nov. 3, 2008, and ending yesterday, Nov. 9, 2008, 8,525 firearm transactions were handled by TICS. Saturday, Nov. 8th was a peak day, with 2,524 transactions. This was unprecedented for November. Only one other day since TICS opened on Nov. 1, 1998 has surpassed last Saturday in the number of transactions – December 21, 2006 saw 2,600 transactions. TICS statistics seem to support all other reports that this will be a peak year for gun sales.

Two friends bought guns this weekend at the Fairgrounds gun show in Nashville. Neither had owned guns before; both brought ’em over to my house for approvals and instructions.
Both were .45 ACP’s.
That’s the way I teach ’em!

You can add “1” to that figure for my purchase of a Ruger from a private collector.
