Gun Sales Up in PA

12.20.12 |

Pennsylvanians are lining up to buy firearms in the aftermath of the Connecticut school shootings, but dealers say gun owners' anxiety over a potential gun-control crackdown was driving up sales before the Sandy Hook massacre. Sheriffs around the state report a sharp increase in applications for permits to conceal a handgun or carry one in a vehicle. Also, Walmart has reported stores in five states, including Pennsylvania, have run out of the same semi-automatic rifle that was used in the shooting.
