The Market is Showing Some

Encouraging Signs of Strength

Moshe Salem, President of Diamond Club West Coast (DCWC), L.A

The Los Angeles market, just as I hear from colleagues around the USA and possibly the world (as noted in Yoram Dvash’s letter ‘There’s light at the end of the tunnel ’) is showing some encouraging signs of recovery.

Clearly we are not seeing the numbers that we would have seen had it not being for the Covid-19 crisis, yet there is a fairly steady and stable demand for goods across the board. Some promising signs of strength are:

Concealed Carry Permit

Are you sure you’re prepared to do this ?

Continuing with last week’s topic, this writer speaks from experience.

I went through the process to obtain a concealed carry permit from one of the most difficult cities in the US.

I took firearms training classes.

I spent $1500 on an attorney.

I went through the interview process with a civilian review board.

I jumped through every hoop they asked of me.

I then waited 18 months to get my permit.

Then after one year with the carry permit without incident, it was not renewed. The new chief of police did not like to renew permits from a previous administration.

What total BS. But that is a topic for another discussion. I declined to start the process all over again.

But during that 1 year with the carry permit, I carried a firearm on me for about 360 days.

You get so used to carrying a firearm Monday through Friday that when you do not have the firearm on you, you kind of feel exposed and vulnerable. Attacks don’t just happen Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. But this also means my attitude and this added responsibility were present 24/7 for 360 days.

Do I think certain people in our industry should be granted a carry permit ?

Yes, I do.

I’ve spent many years on the road being a very easy target. It is not a good feeling.

But I will admit that my attitude towards using my firearm has changed over the years, I have matured. I am sure many years ago I felt a bit bolder and righteous about carrying a firearm. Today I would be very very reluctant to shoot someone. Life in the US has changed dramatically. Everything is politically incorrect.....especially shooting someone. The fallout from a firearm incident will be big, and maybe not worth it.

While in the past, drunk driving was still never acceptable, today you are stupid if you do not use uber to avoid all the severe consequences of a drunk driving conviction.

I do know that the
