The masses are not listening to their teles, but are remaining firm in their conviction that the best defense is self-defense. The Asheville Gun Show fared well. Show Owner Mike Kent said this was the first time he has seen people lined up two and a half hours before the doors opened. They were not enjoying the freezy, freezy weather at 6:30 a.m. Kent attributes the enthusiasm to the election and the Connecticut incident. But then, maybe the folks were buying guns to get them off the streets, having intentions to donate them to their elected officials.
