If you can't get the picture to work, post a link to a photobucket picture or something, otherwise email it to someone who can format the picture.

I've seen a number of websites for either CPL/CCW/CCP, FFL Licensing (a packet to assist you), and even a "bodyguard" training website stating that the laws will change soon... "Obama wants to "X" and "Y" so you better get your_________ NOW!" (Fill in the blank).

As was posted, most assuredly a ploy (scarcity) to get people to purchase their services or product.

see this for persuasion techniques:

the only way that this was a rush to get your CPL is the new "law" would be some kind of grandfathering the permits. if the laws change why would it matter if you had it or not other wise. i agree it's a ploy.
saw one at beck and maple too - about 100 yards from the home of the guy who taught my CPL class years ago. he's australian and gave him a little crap about his country getting their guns taken away.
