Local gun shop owners tell us, gun sales have been on the rise since the November presidential election.

And today's victor bean's southern classic gun and knife show reflected those numbers.

Hundreds of people showed up to the bay county fairgrounds Saturday morning when the show began and continued to flow in Saturday afternoon.

Customers could buy, sell or trade in their guns and knives.

From assault rifles to handguns to just about anything. But gun show owner, Victor Bean said since Barack Obama was elected president back in November-- the sales he's seen at his gun shows have shot up.

"His anti-gun voting history, people have come out in droves, buying the guns that he once banned again which were mostly assault riffles and high capacity magnum handguns," said Victor Bean, owner of the Gun Show.

The next show: Sunday, January 11, 2007: 10am-4 p.m. at the Bay County Fairgrounds
