Last week's deadly shooting at a Connecticut school has already had an impact on gun ownership... it has apparently caused sales to skyrocket.
State mandated background checks nearly doubled from last Friday's shooting through Tuesday of this week, compared to the same time period a year ago.
Gun dealers and state police think the sales may have been boosted in part by concerns among gun enthusiasts that the school shooting will lead to more restrictive laws that could make it harder to get those weapons in the future.
