They’re both garbage. Go to Bowie on Perkins

No clue how Jim’s stays open selling everything at MSRP

All lives should arm up if they are doing it legal.

Because each life matters.

Went to Gonzales gun show last weekend and I'd say it was 80% blacks buying up the ARs

I actually went to both of these places today. Jim’s inventory and selection was MUCH better than Hebert’s. Jim’s actually had a scope I was looking for that I couldn’t find anywhere online.

They don’t have the money to buy a quality weapon like that. Don’t worry.

Not sure if that’s good or bad.



Would probably depend on the individual. Most are trigger happy.

Curious about this myself. I went in June looking for an inexpensive AR, guy at the counter said they were out of everything south of 1k at the time. Ended up finding something online for right about $500.

Regarding lots of "people of color", I've seen that at the range too, when I went recently. I've read stuff online that confirm gun (and ammo) sales are through the roof for all demographics, including blacks. People are scared right now.

I witnessed a straw purchase attempt at a local gun shop last Saturday. 2 males with a female. Overheard the 2 males instruct the female what guns they wanted her to look at and told her not to worry about it because she could pass the background check.

I went out to my truck and called the store to alert them and gave them a description of the 3 folks.

The blacks at Jim's buying firearms are as fed up with the rioting and violence going on as everyone on this board.

They are just wise enough to know it is time to prepare

My local rural king shop is down to Stoeger and Springfield XDs for semi auto handguns, a couple Springfield M14s and bolt guns.

The range I use to work at sometimes in Georgia is down to 80,000 small pistol primers for their range ammo. That’s about 2 weeks til they are out of 9mm, 38sp, 357 mag, 40sw, range ammo with no resupply coming. That’s the stuff they have and what they can make. It’s hard to make money when they have no firearms to sell and no ammo for the range. And the folks that have their own is dwindling.
