Ok, so I apologize for mostly disappearing over the last two weeks. The only thing I can even remotely compare this to would be what I think Sandy Hook had to be like, and I wasn't in industry yet then so I'm just guessing. I am essentially OUT of handguns and have people hanging around the shop at lunch time WAITING for shipments to come in.
I was hoping things would start to slow down a bit (yes, I actually want to make less money) as this crap is stressful. I'm not kidding when I say this... people walk in the store... ask for a glock... we're out. Ok, do you have a S&W? Nope, we're out. What do you have? I have this used police trade in 9mm for $450... Ok, I'll take it.
And ammo... my god the ammo... I've been reserving pretty much all standard ammo for people that are buying guns. I had someone offer me $50 a box on 9mm ammo yesterday.
The feds say they are seeing a 300-400% increase... we've been doing a 8-10x multiplier every day for the last week and a half. It's been running me ragged. Got home last night, cooked a kickass ribeye and crashed in bed at 8PM. Work up at 3 and did some background checks because the system was so waterlogged yesterday that we couldn't do any checks and then feel asleep again at 7AM. I just woke up a bit ago.
