    Default Is Everyone Buying Guns Today or What?

    It was 11 o'clock this morning when they made the call, (A Thursday, no less) and I am in line behind 134 others for a CBI background check! Quoted a 3 hour wait time. What gives?

    Guns are evil.

    Gun sales up 20% from last year, and have been on the rise for some time.

    Either owning a gun is something that most Americans are thinking they ought to do, the politically wary are buying them in anticipation/fear of an Obama 2nd term, or some combination of the two. I'm betting that last one.

    Maybe it's just random. Last month on a Saturday there was only about a 20 minute wait for CBI.

    Wow, I did not have to wait longer than an hour when I bought a gun from a shop when Tanner was going on. That is a bit long. I wonder if they only have one dude working Thursdays and he is on his 3 hour paid lunch break.

    A coworker went to buy a 10/22 today and said the wait time was an hour and half around 11am today.
