`Gun sales are continuing to spike around Ferguson, Missouri, as security firms plead with authorities to make it easier for them to hire new guards in advance of a grand jury’s decision (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/19/st-louis-mayor-predicts-widespread-civil-disobedience-in-ferguson) on whether to charge a white police officer for shooting dead an unarmed black 18-year-old.
Owners of regional gun stores said that concerned residents were stocking up on pistols and shotguns even after a call for calm from St Louis officials (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/12/ferguson-authorities-calm-down-grand-jury-anxiety)following earlier reports of a dramatic increase in sales. Meanwhile demand for private security is outstripping supply.
Tim Wheeler, the co-owner of Trail Creek Trade Co in nearby St Ann, said there was “paranoia beyond belief” among some in the area. “I have normal-seeming people coming in saying ‘Oh my god, they’re going to march down the streets looting and burning,’” he said......“A lot of them are first-time gun owners just wanting to have something to protect themselves and their homes.” He estimated that 90% of customers made verbal references to fears of unrest around Ferguson when making their purchases. Sales of classes teaching owners how to conceal-carry their new firearms are also up.`
