Black Friday
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2011-12-01/gun-sales-up-black-friday/51554972/1

The FBI reports 129,166 background checks that day, an all-time record, and 32% above that day last year.

Ralphie: I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!
Mrs. Parker: No, you'll shoot your eye out.


I'm hoping for a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in .220 Swift.

3. I heard firearm sales were the third highest selling category Friday
Behind electronics and clothing IIRC.

But I'm sure it's just more people buying more "assault weapons" for their "arsenal" and no new owner sales.

Or at least that's what some people keep telling me here.

5. Good news for the economy.
Most firearms sold in the US are manufactured domestically.

7. I didn't see any really good sales on
anything I needed. That and I just bought a new XDM 5.25 in October. I'll have to keep an eye out for something for the wife in upcoming sales.
