Let us know how it goes. I am not a big fan of the WPB show, but it could be the last one for awhile so that may drive business.

They order everyone to stay home.
No one can go to work all to keep them safe, of course.
No one collects a pay check.
Renters are evicted, home owners are foreclosed on, car loans default and cars repossessed, credit cards are not paid so get cancelled and the vast majority become homeless, penniless with no car or credit

Can't happen? Think so? Not possible? Think so?

Once the dominoes start to fall in derpland there may be no stopping them.
Of course those of us with no mortgage, no car payments or any debt and $ in the bank will own everything so now that I think about it bring on the derp!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
The Federal Reserve will wind up bailing out all private industries they claim to be in the interest of national security & will wind up owning everything, directly or indirectly, through the banking system. We could see some real-world inflation if they do that, crushing what’s left of the purchasing power of the dollars in our pockets.
Stagflation, like we experienced in the 1970’s. Sure as hell hope not, though.

Ger, I am quite concerned but was somewhat enlightened reading your post, when you compare how many dead vs. total world pop it definitely puts things into perspective I just googled World Wide population and got various results but one I'm giving a link to was interesting since it has a counter and all.

Busiest WPB show I’ve seen in a long time. People were buying like the election was next week. GARY

Sit back, wait till the panic subsides and the credit card bills come due and after a few months of not being able to pay for what they bought, purchase for pennies on the dollar.

People are so predictable.

Just like buying a four wheeler! Wait till a few days after Christmas and the kid has his first "incident' and momma says "GET RID OF IT"!

The WPB show is over. IRA has never sold that many guns at a WPB show, ever. Every AR he brought was sold. Good for me, as we didn’t have much inventory to bring back to the store. The same amount of attendees but instead of 10% buyers, it was 50%. There was always someone filling out 4473’s at our table. GARY.
