    Largest Run on guns in decades.

    Certain periods of time stand out for massive spikes in sales over the last 16 years we have been around.

    • The end of the LGR
    • Feb 2014 gun buy (panic due to potential gun bans in the USA spilled over due Canada).
    • The day after the 2015 election.
    • Feb & March 2020 run on Shotguns and bulk ammo


    By far though in terms of sales, the last week has eclipsed these prior periods by a huge margin. We have never seeing anything like this. Most of or regular items are gone and may not be back for months. Interesting times.

    Canada ended when Trudeau began.

    I doubt that the Canadian Firearms Program is lying about the number of PAL holders, but they certainly underestimate the depth of our pockets during a good panic.
    Unless gun stores are selling to un-licensed people (they aren't) this is just proof most of us love a good panic buy... I am no different lol

    Ok but in all honesty your sampling pool is pretty limited and homogeneous in rural Alberta.... I know, I am from there.

    Vendors need to organize and lead the charge in starting to push back against this government thievery.

    The gun orgs can't keep themselves from falling into political pockets, which only serves to paralyze this community. They are not the answer.

    The vendors and businesses have the power, they just need to group up and work together.

    The number of PAL holders is very accurate (just over 2.2 million)

    The average number of firearm's that each PAL holder owns is wild guess and very likely grossly underestimated

    I gotta feelin' Trudeau is going to get the last laugh. He's not as stupid as people give him credit for.

    With the old LGR data, and the new back door registry, he could keep the smelters runnin' for some time.

    You’ll be able to retire after this Marlon! Nothing but sandy beaches and piña coladas.

    You’re only problem is you have to sell at retail. Now, if you were able to sell at used prices like we’re seeing in the EE lately, you could make some real money. LOL
    My wife calls me a pessimist. I claim I'm a realist. But I'm probably just an a$$hole with an attitude problem.
