I work part-time in a gun shop in New Jersey since Sunday everything is in lock down. Gun shops are considered non-essential and the NICS check in NJ is closed. After Pennsylvania did there lock down and closure of gun shops, i started to get loads of folks from Pennsylvania and Philadelphia trying to buy firearms and ammunition. Out of state residents can buy firearms but they have to be transferred to a Dealer in Pennsylvania but the PA dealers are closed. Catch-22! Rifle and Shotgun ammunition was OK but handgun and hollow point ammunition required a NJ Firearms ID Card. Sorry Out Luck (SOL). Only if the PA resident had a License to carry were we permitted to sale handgun ammunition. We did get a lot of liberals in trying to buy a firearm for self-protection thinking it was easy like getting a driver's license. They were a bit shocked to find out the cost and time involved to get the required permits. I encouraged them they should not have given up their rights so easy next time. I was a bit surprised at the buying patterns of the general public. The first to go were the AR platforms, next was the AK types then the Shockwave and Tac-14 Other weapons. We did not have a problem getting ammunition. We did not rise the price on ammunition to make a great profit as we understood that after the crisis these folks would be our customers later. I was surprised that good used firearms did not sale. We had about seven Mosin Nagant 1989/30 Rifles completed with bayonet, ammo pouches, cleaning tools with plenty of ammo and they did not move at all. We had plenty of Mossberg, Remington and Benelli riot 12 Gauge shotguns which move out rather quickly and twice the price of the Mosin Nagants Go fiqure! Personally I have always rather prepared these types of crisis so I am sitting here typing away as the rest of the world comes apart at the seams. To my folk web site comrades, Stay healthy and safe.
