| Subject: Coronavirus fueling gun store sales but California sheriff says shops are 'not an essential,' orders closures Wed Mar 25, 2020 12:30 am | |
| The coronavirus pandemic may be fueling a buying frenzy of guns and ammunition nationwide, but a sheriff in California is ordering all gun stores in his county closed, calling them non-essential businesses. Gun stores nationwide have had long lines this month of customers worried about possible social unrest amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "There’s a lot of unknown. Family first and friends," Brian Thompson told FOX11 earlier this month in a line outside of LAX Ammunition in Los Angeles. "I know what I have in my house and somebody might want to take that. I’ve been robbed before and who says that people aren’t going to start robbing for food? And that’s scary."
The sheriff of the nation's most populated county said Monday that gun stores will no longer be allowed to stay open. “We will be closing them, they are not an essential function,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told FOX11.
