Lines weave around gun shops. At LAX Ammunition, Brian Thompson waits to stock up. "There’s a lot of unknown. Family first and friends," said Thompson. "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." That fear of possible social disorder and concern over government-restricted gun purchases are leading to a surge in gun and ammunition sales, including first-time gun buyers, in states hit hardest by coronavirus, like California.
