This morning I had a business meeting in Atlanta, and decided to drive rather than fly. On the way down I saw billboards for The Outpost Armory in Christiana, TN. It was right off the expressway so I pulled off and went inside. The store was pretty large and relative to my local stores in southern Indiana, they were pretty well stocked. I talked to one of the guys behind the counter and sure enough they were out of ARs and AKs, but had a good selection of hand guns and related items. He also said they had plenty of ammo. I looked around and like all guns stores these days they were doing a brisk business. I saw they add a limited supply of small rifle primers, and since my local source is having trouble getting them in, I bought 2,000, and went on my way.
This afternoon about 3:00 pm, on my way back through Tennessee, I thought maybe I should stop again and pick up some more, just to be sure. When I pulled off the expressway the parking lot was jammed, not a single space available and people circling waiting to park. The lot has 60-75 parking spaces, again all full. It was raining and as I circled in the lot I noticed two armed off duty police officers manning the front door, and there were about 15-20 people waiting in the rain to get into the store.
I am sure this was sometime just after Obama's gun control address. Has this been common in other places today? What have you folks seen in your areas?
