Has anybody tried to buy a gun since the "over abundance of caution" has taken hold?
I just got told by a friend who was trying to buy a shotgun at our local Rural King that they were not allowed to. Rural King personnel told them that the government was not running background checks until this was over.
Anybody else hear of similar situations?

Well, I guess there really is a silver lining in every storm cloud. I'm just lost as to why a computerized system would be shut down. |

I checked a couple of the firearms forums and didn't see anything about it...

My nephew Alex is the manager at Acme Sports in Seymour. He says that there is no problem with NICS and that they've completed over 20 firearms sales today at the shop.

I was at a local RK store just saturday and only bought ammo, but they never said anything or have any signs that I saw. I didn't ask either..

There were massive backlogs and longer than normal wait times due to some panic buying out west. Apparently a large portion of the population that hadn't previously owned a firearm made the decision that having one in these uncertain times was better than not. I'm wondering if that wasn't the issue, or if her nephew just had a look about him that the counter guys decided not to partake in his business.
