Both range and sales counter were backed up and they had extra people on staff all week.

The owner told me that it's been like that for the last 4 or 5 years, I'm sure the new Illinois CCW law helped some of it along, but I think it's become more "acceptable" to the masses to buy a firearm as a gift (even if it's for yourself).
