Gun Shop Owners Say Election Reason For Rising Gun Sales

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 – updated: 6:02 pm EDT October 29, 2008
APOPKA, Fla. -- Gun shop owners say sales are on the rise and they say the upcoming election is the reason.

Gun sellers say it's semi automatic rifles where they've seen an increase in sales. They say it goes back to the 1994 election when that type of gun was banned.

Don fielding already owns four guns and he's thinking about purchasing another.

"I'd like to get a small one for my wife," he said.

But Fielding is concerned the 2008 election could change the way he buys guns.

"Might be a ban on handguns, tax on ammunition," he said.

There are no records kept on statewide gun sales, but Shoot Straight in Apopka has seen a 40 percent increase in sales from this time last year. Manager Larry Anderson attributes that to crime.

"It's home invasions, it's carjackings, it's a little bit of everything," he said.

He also credits Barack Obama leading the polls.

"We don't really know what he's going to ban, high capacity, certain calibers, restrict the purchase of guns," Anderson said.

Some of his customers are not taking any chances.

"You can look at people getting concealed weapons permits skyrocketing. Shoot Straight has a two-week waiting list to take the course," he said.

Eyewitness News checked and found the state issued nearly 1,200 concealed weapons licenses in Orange County from July to September. That's up from last year. There are currently 526,000 statewide.

Anderson is anticipating yet another spike in business come November.

"If Obama gets in, get elected, we'll have another surge of business like we did in 1994," he said.

Currently, there is a two-week waiting list to get a concealed weapons license not just at the Apopka Shoot Straight location but also the Casselberry location.

It has been widely reported that Barack Obama supported a ban on all forms of semi-automatic weapons and other restrictions on firearms when he was in the Illinois legislature.

I don't want to get in a fight here, but we have this HUGE deficit.
How do people expect to pay that WITHOUT raising taxes? It's a serious question.
We can't get out of debt AND not feel it.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

I have a hard time believing that government under ANY administration would cut their own throats.
