Gun sales soar as owners fear President Obama will take their guns away

Gun sales locally have increased 15 to 20 percent in the past six months. Why? Dennis Foglesong, manager of The Pier in Creston, said gun buyers tell him they're "stocking up" on guns and ammunition because President Barack Obama was re-elected to a second term.

Foglesong said gun buyers are concerned Obama will push new, more strict gun regulations over the next four years.
