The Los Angeles Times reports that gun stores are one aspect of the economy seeing a surge in business as Californians react to coronavirus news.
According to the LA Times, the line of customers at the Martin B. Retting Gun Shop in Culver City stretched out the front door and around the block on Saturday. Many of those in line waited five hours for their opportunity to buy a gun.
A doctor who wanted to buy a gun at the store said, I want to buy a handgun, I think they call it a Glock, but Im not sure. I have a house and a family, and theyll need protection if things get worse. The fear is that civil services will break down.
Another customer, 39-year-old John Grove, said, Politicians and anti-gun people have been telling us for the longest time that we dont need guns. But right now, a lot of people are truly scared, and they can make that decision themselves.
California has universal background checks, gun registration requirements, and a 10-day waiting period for completion of all gun purchases. So those who were successful in their search for a self-defense handgun Saturday will have to wait over a week to take possession of the firearm.
The owner of Laguna Guns & Accessories in Elk Grove, California, told the LA Times he has not seen guns sell at this pace since just after the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Marijuana dispensary and liquor store sales are also surging.

Marshall law = gun confiscation
Somehow we slogged through the Spanish flu. At a great cost, but we got through it.
Now apparently we need porn, alcohol and weed and an AR 15
Martial...just sayin’.
And toilet paper...

Also, it’s martial law.
Marshall Law may or may not be interested in confiscating your guns, you’ll have to ask him, but ***martial law*** is where that becomes a greater possibility.
Depends on the system. :D Saiga 12s, it really is lock (the bolt back) and load (the magazine) for example.
I’m still sitting on my huge 9-11 stash.
It’s marital law that it’s time to worry about.
Or is it maritime law?

Lot of guys trying to take weapons from legal gun owners are gonna DIE!
Oops. Marshall = Martial. Sorry

Under maritime law, you can sometimes have full-auto in your arms lockers so that’s a good thing.
Somebody said marital law?? Nah, I signed a pre-nup. I’m good.
