Oh Mal....you clearly know nothing of the CCP process, the training, the very specific instances where you can legally use the weapon,  or the consequences to a permit holder if he uses it incorrectly. Have you been in the room during the permit process and listened to the law enforcement officers explain all of this?  Do you understand that our local authorities encourage legal CCP holders to carry at all times?  Do you really believe the criminals will ever give up their weapons?  If you walk into Caseys and a crazy comes in waving a 9mm and starts to shoot everybody in the place, would you rather have me or another permit holder there, or not?  Why would you want to disarm hundreds of thousands of law-abiding gun owners who have never had a problem carrying?

Your silly attempt at argumentation is a dismal failure. 

What is Mallory's solution?  Ban guns?  Tougher CCP protocol?  More severe penalties for illegal possession or use of a firearm?  Better background checks? 

All often heard as solutions from the anti-gun crowd, but of course none would affect the criminals in our midst.

Go ahead Mal.  Solve the problem for us.   

We have all figured out that msmal LOVES to argue about any and every thing. Lists appear on here with statements for us to respond to so a big freakin' drawn-out delusional discourse by msmal and sometimes tp and oldbeadyeye follows. It just is not worth the words to respond. No matter how many sane words are used to make msmal understand, in that little pea brain only the words of msmal matter.

Hell, forget about the self defense aspects.  It looks like handguns are a great investment, thanks to the obumbler!

Smith & Wesson Posts 48% Increase In Second Quarter Sales As Demand Surges For All Firearm Products

U.S. firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson reported a 48 percent increase in sales in its announcement of the company's second-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2013.

The company's press release read:

"Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter were a record $136.6 million, up 48.0% from the second quarter last year.  The increase was led by continued strong sales across all of the company's firearm product lines."

As CNSNews.com previously reported, gun sales have surged since the reelection of Barack Obama, reaching an all-time single day record on Black Friday this year with 154,873 background checks completed by the FBI.

The press release also shows that the company now anticipates higher net sales from continuing operations.  The latest projections estimate between $550.0 million and $560.0 million in net sales for fiscal year 2013, which would represent year-over-year growth from continuing operations of approximately 35.0%.

James Debney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation stated:

"Our strong fiscal second quarter financial performance reflects the ongoing successful execution of our strategic plan, and accordingly today we are increasing our full year fiscal 2013 financial guidance."
