Gun Sales Up Across Area

Sales have quadrupled at 'Metro Shooting' in Bridgeton, according to owner Steven King.

August 12, 2014 7:55 PM

BRIDGETON, MO. (KMOX) - Gun sales are up across St. Louis since the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent nights of violence.

Sales have quadrupled at ‘Metro Shooting’ in Bridgeton according to owner Steven King. He says sales have mainly been to men, but not all:

Probably a dozen or two dozen guns to females, single mothers. We’ve sold to black people, white people. We’ve sold to asians who have businesses on West Florissant.” said King. “They’re just afraid of whats going on and they’re coming in to purchase either additional firearms or their first firearm.”

King says he’s personally seen the fear in their eyes and feels the sorrow in their hearts. King says he’s not raised prices but he knows that some are raiding their savings accounts, feeling that having a gun is that important.

He says nearly 100 percent say they are buying them for defensive purposes. “They’re buying AR-15s, home defense shotguns, handguns, personal defense handguns something for conceal carry.” said King.

Nearly all of his sales at the Bridgeton store have been to people in North County. He has a store in Belleville and says, in contrast, sales have been normal there.http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/08/12/gun-sales-up-across-area/

Craziness at is best. The cops kill someone, a few folks riot, and folks are now scared for their lives. It must suck to live in fear.

It must suck to need a gun in order to feel protected... On a positive note, we all know that what America really needs is more guns.

Pretty much. I'll be there this weekend, like always. Since my family gives out free food to the less fortunate in those areas without any guns(Meals on Wheels) it feels weak for me to have to get a gun to go home.

It is indeed a sad state of affairs, when you need to have 'gun' on the check list for a trip home...

I think that's why I haven't gotten one. I don't want to perpetrate the notion that I need one. I've gone this long without it, not in a rush to break the streak.

But then again, if guns actually protected anyone, there wouldn't be any riots or violence. I understand some people need a gun to feel protected, but that is just really a false sense in most cases and their constitutional right.

You wouldn't want to yell at a sleepwalker.

That's the thing lost. We're not. Ferguson is less than 5 minutes from my house. I'm talking I have family and used to have friends that live there. My uncle still lives there. My boss lives 2 minutes walking distance from the Ferguson police station. That QT that was destroyed? I used to go there and play Street Fighter 2 all the time. We were over there Monday and Tuesday. My mother's bank is close to there, but it was closed due to what happened. So I had to go downtown(which in my opinion is worse) to help her get money out. I'll be down there again on Sunday.

They're angry, and rightfully so, but they're going about it wrong. They're not attacking people, just dumb looters. No home invasions or beatings. Just angry folks. My family still goes there and gives out food without being armed. They don't live in fear nor do they let others stop them from helping others. That's where I get my conviction from. But thanks for your concern.

I have never heard of the place before, just reading the report suggests that it is a town that went down hill fast.

What happened?

A teen was shot by a police officer. Looks like it was excessive force. People are upset and rioting. So now everyone is arming themselves. Short version of the story. The town isn't bad, but this brings out the worse in people.

I'd like to suggest, at this fork in your life,

that you get a high-powered crossbow pistol,

and make your own exploding arrow tips.

you can steampunk the crossbow or the bolts or even the bolt holster, use it for cosplay on occasion, so it does serve dual purpose.

bonus points for making the tips threaded or thread-able, so you can change em out for cosplay vs home defense.

People being gunned down in the streets by law enforcement. Looting,burning and pillaging. Law enforcement gassing and arresting the press.
