FULL TITLE: Gun sales in Ferguson spike a staggering 700% as residents wait to see if Officer Darren Wilson will be indicted for shooting dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown

Gun sales have increased at a staggering rate in Ferguson, Missouri, ahead of a grand jury's decision on whether or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the cop who shot dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

Steve King, the owner of Metro Shooting Supplies in nearby Bridgeton, says he has sold 250 firearms this week.

That is a 700% increase over the 30 to 40 guns the store typically sells in a week.

The scum are always shocked when decent, law abiding folks shoot back.

The Liberal left and MSM are hoping for a big shootout - probably so they can sell T-shirts of those who were martyred. Then sit back and wait for the riot over that to start ...

All business owners should’ve learned the lesson taught by the Korean business owners during the Rodney King riots. Standing out in front of your store with a shotgun is the only way to protect your property. The cops are not going to do it.

I keep asking myself why the DOJ is so involved, why Holder keeps righteously popping off to interviewers, and why Al Sharpton keeps visiting the WH frequently.

In this case, I don't love it when a plan comes together.

How about waiting inside your store with your weapon? Not exposed to fire, and when someone breaks in & you waste him, well....

You could be charged with hunting over a baited field.

Of the 700 weapons the guy sold, I wonder how many went to some of the intend-to-protest crowd vs. those who want to defend themselves from the hyenas.

On the roof with 3 or 4 buddies (for perimeter security) and AK47s with high capacity mags is even MORE effective.

When the racist mob shows up to loot and burn their property, they'll be prepared. More power to them and may God's blessing keep them safe.

If the 700% increase is actually used on the first day of protest, there won’t be a second day.
