Hoosiers bought more than 42K guns in November

Hoosiers purchased an estimated 42,305 guns in November, a 1% decline from the year before but an increase from October. As a nation, Americans bought an estimated 1.36 million guns last month, also a 1% decline from the year before.

C'mon, guys, we gotta step it up a bit.

Just means more inventory for me to oogle at .

I obtained 3 in November [after going a decade without buying any]. Two at LGS and one private party.

It turns out concealing a larger firearm as a larger dude is harder and I've put on quite a bit of weight over the last decade. I'm not a huge fan of carrying openly as I once was [not against it - by all means carry how you want, carry safely] - my life these days just lends itself more to carrying concealed.

I'm also a big fan of having two guns on me - and two smaller guns are easier to conceal than two bigger ones.

Is OC really OC if your love handle covers your firearm? Asking for a friend.

When you have to move your flub instead of your shirt to draw, yes.

Hey, that’s not so bad. The average per state that month was 27200 and we’re well above that, particularly considering we’re not at the top population-wise either.

I would consider that an increase in household spending considering food is more expensive, and sewer, water, electricity, natural gas, insurance. In perspective, owning a gun is a higher priority than last year. Or am I the only one who has to watch what I spend to still save 10% and not dip into it?

How many were destined for Chicago out of the region?

 

[yetti462]

Is like to see December numbers, seemed like everytime I was in rk there were transactions being made.

 

[indykid]

I wonder how many of those were those evil AR-15s that our illustrious president wants to confiscate?

None of course. A straw purchase here in Indiana? Never happens!

Where does this info come from? NICS shows that for November there were 79,500 checks ran, am I looking in the wrong area?
Obviously some were denied but surely not 37,000

Indiana had the 4th most checks when you drop states that do nics checks for ammunition in 2022

Wow. 42k bought in Indiana. That seems like a staggering large number.

Can you imagine anyone trying to repeal 2A? It’s a complete farce. 1.3M guns bought in the US in one month.
