I drove over to Cabelas yesterday to purchase some needed items.  It is a 'huge' store , with an enormous parking lot -- and it was packed.  Judging by their attire, autos and purchases, most appeared to be people of means, not your local survivalist out ot buy a case of MRE's.

At the firearm counter, you had to take a number , like at the DMV (though they were much more courteous and efficient than any government operation), and then wait for your number to be called.  They were selling firearms as fast as walmart sells Snickers bars at Halloween.  

The economy as a whole may be suffering, but this one party Democrat government making the firearms and related economy bigger than ever.

This article (below) is a memeo from the (pffft) A TF regarding the fact that business is so brisk that they are running out of governmental forms

Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees
Regarding ATF Form 4473 Shortage

As a result of an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Forms 4473 (5300.9) Part I Revised August 2008, inventory of the form at the ATF Distribution Center is running low.

As a temporary measure, ATF is allowing FFLs to photocopy the form 4473 in it’s entirety until they receive their orders from the ATF Distribution Center. 

A notice will be posted at the expiration of this temporary authorized change.
