said by OC Register :
As of November, the FBI has run 981,798 background checks related to guns in California for 2012, already beating out totals for other years.
Damn... I thought the Gun Show was more crowded than usual!

kudos:1 | Funny I was just thinking of buying a shotgun... With all the other wackos out there with guns, I think I need one to. But that may be me just keeping up with the Jones. But they can keep their kool-aid.

| I was thinking of buying a shotgun, too, for the new home (wifey doesn't want live ammo so I was going to use bean bag shot). Taser has two nice home units that she likes with a range of 15 feet. Me? Nothing says GTFO of my home like the boom, fire and smoke of a 12 gauge at nighttime. |

1 edit | If I "cock" it, loading a shell, I'm firing. It's no fun otherwise. Beanbags don't hurt too bad.
-- edit --
One of my reasons for wanting a shotgun is that without my glasses at night I can't see shit. I need to point in the general direction of any intruder and cross my fingers. That's why a handgun is no good for me. Besides, the odds of a home invasion are slim; I'm more concerned with property damage. |

| If you're inclined to shoot a gun in the dark at things you can't see, property damage is probably pretty low on the list of "Things Dan should worry about."

What I meant to say is that handguns are notoriously inaccurate and that if I wake and forget my glasses I won't hit anything with a pistol. Cast a wider net, so they say... |

NOT Texas! | I spent my career in California and still have property there. Now I'm in Arizona which is obviously the flip side of the gun coin.
But even I have to wonder about the waiting period in CA. There is a fairly reasonable argument calling for a "cooling off" period of 10 days on the first gun. But the second? C'mon already, I've GOT one! I could use that one!

What if you lost the first one?  |

I bet sales are going to go up even more, now. |
|
| I won't take that bet...
Was at a gun shop today and they are having trouble keeping anything in stock. Guns are literally flying off the shelves.
A favorite shooting range had an all-time record membership day last Monday.
...Probably just Christmas presents! |
