I don't own a Henry so I never stopped in. I'd hate to see a forum die out, although there are some that seem seasonal. My personal opinion of Henry rifles is good overall, they are just not handled locally.
Graybeard my theory is that the recession caused people to stop going into gunshops and posting in forums due to it's an impulse buying hobby and people now are stingy with credit cards. If they go in a gun forum they may buy something. A large part of our economy has simply vanished. I stayed home this Mem weekend for the 1st time in 20 years due to gas prices. I know this isn't the place but we have to change presidents in 2012 and get an expert in economic matters in the white house. America is dying. I literally live in fear that in late 2012 I will be homeless. I'm unemployed now going on 9 mos. I'm 54 and never have seen the economy this bad and I thought the recession of 79-82 was bad.
Everything I see has fallen off. EVERYTHING! I think that anyone who emotionally voted for Obama condemned millions of Americans into bankruptsy, homelessness ans suicide. Some people just shouldn't vote.
Zen there is only as much recession as you choose to participate in. Yes there is by some accounts an unemployment rate of up to 17% That means that 83% of the rest of us are fine and buying all the toys we want. Me I bought 12 acres and a 2,300 sq ft house, a couple cannons, a Motorcycle...
My point is if everyone thinks they are in bad financial shape then they are, if they think they are Ok, maybe not great, then they find ways to get the toys they want. Maybe pick up odd jobs, maybe people are waking up and not using plastic but barder or cash for purchases. This may hurt an over inflated economy (market bubble) but is good in the long term for the individual.
