Gun Business Soars In New York

03.11.13 | Sarah Harnisch

Business is up significantly after the New York gun laws were enacted in December.  Dennis Deasy, owner of Niagara gun range in North Tonawanda, says his pistol permit classes are booked through May, and his store can hardly keep up with demand for guns that hold 10 round magazines, ahead of the April 15th ban on them. The F.B.I. says there were 76-thousand firearm purchases for New Yorkers in January and February 2013, up from 51-thousand last year.
