Arthur, who owns Arthur’s Shooter Supply on Old Ocean City Boulevard outside Berlin, believes the president’s efforts to curb gun violence using executive order to expand background checks and step up the enforcement of existing gun laws, is sending people to gun shops both locally and nationally in big numbers.
Gun Sales Reach New Heights
“We’ve been really busy,” said Arthur. “What I’ve noticed lately is that people who have never even owned a gun are saying, ‘I better get my handgun license and get one before I can’t get a gun anymore’. There are just so many restrictions now. It’s ridiculous.”
Arthur isn’t alone when he says that he’s a busy gun shop owner.

as a complete new person to guns- does anyone have advice where to look and start? I'm looking for a rifle or shotgun for home defense, of course. Please no debate on which is better- I just want to know where to go and how much i ought to spend. Its time to get one before they are forever outlawed.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend going to Arthur's Shooter Supply. Bob is a cool guy and will make buying your first firearm a pleasant experience.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it. :)
DeleteYou definitely want to hold several different firearms for a comfortable fit/feel. You can also rent various styles at many firing ranges to practice and test out different styles. As for me, Smith and Wesson 9mm was my first buy
ReplyDelete1040 how much did you spend on the 9mm? I'm looking for one.
ReplyDeleteGot a relative living in another state, move in with them, Maryland is not a place to live for gun owners!
ReplyDeleteyou do not want a rifle or a long barreled shotgun for home defense. get a short barreled shotgun and/or one that just has a pistol grip. you are much less likely to bang it into walls and such in close quarters.
