The explosion of racial violence in Charlotte, N.C. has led to a gun buying spree by locals worried about their safety.

At Hyatt Guns, one of the nation's largest, staff arrived Thursday morning after the second night of riots and encountered a line of buyers.

"First off, our prayers are with law enforcement this morning. People are afraid. They see lunacy in the streets being perpetrated by criminals and they are gearing up to protect themselves," Justin Anderson, director of marketing for Hyatt Guns told Secrets.

Most of the purchases were self defense shotguns and 12 gauge buckshot," he said.

A great self-defense choice!

People that were on the fence about buying a gun prior to last night are now making that purchase," added Anderson.

Heh, and liberal heads exploding all across the fruited plains.

Government and the police won’t do it then the time is now. Arm and shoot to kill any threat.

The store is not far from the downtown violence, but has regular security and is so popular among local police that it recently set up an online store for police.

Hmm...I'd be willing to guess it won't be looted...

Nothing puts a firearm in your hands to defend yourself than a harsh dose of reality.

Opting for a quality 12-gauge shotgun is indeed a truly excellent home defense choice for most.
There are lots of choices, yet for a couple hundred dollars, one can have a formidable tool that will last for decades.

One could not make a better choice for home defense.

Good idea. Got mine. Mossberg 12-gauge. You can call it a supplemental home insurance policy.

At this point, just having guns is no longer enough.

There needs to be an event where rioters charge a group of well armed defenders, resulting in a bunch of rioters getting killed, and more wounded. This will finally bring things to a head.

That is, of course the media will at first call it a “massacre”, but when the rioters are identified, and their backgrounds examined, the majority will stand out as violent ex-convicts, gang members, thugs and creeps.

Finally the debate will be out for all to see. The Democrats will stand behind the violent criminals that think they have a right to victimize others. The Republicans will support law and order and honest citizens against the threat of violent criminals.

And Hillary Clinton will be swamped in an electoral tsunami.

Do you have a sling and if so, what do you recommend. Also, anything attached for extra shells?

Good scenario to consider but the rioters wouldn't charge armed citizens.

They may be thugs and stupid but even they don't have death wishes.

Or maybe they'd want to become martyrs.

Mr. Shotgun, definitely. A high-brass 12 gauge cartridge has 4 times the muzzle energy of a .357.
It puts Mr. Home Invader down on the ground for the count.
Good choice Charlotteers. Charlottians? Charlottans?

Quinn’s first law. Liberalism generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.

Other than break open shotguns, there is definitely a learning curve. Not sure a newby who picks up a pump shotgun will be very successful without a little training and some practice for muscle memory.

Why not 00 Buckshot?

12 pellets at .33 cal and 1200FPS.

All at once.

When I was a kid, a cop shot a burglar in the leg across the street from me and called the ambulance right after. He bled out within 2mins and was pronounced dead before they loaded him up.

If you shoot somebody with 00, you will hit an artery. Guaranteed.
