Ferguson Gun Purchases Up
McMullen runs Solo Insurance on West Florissant close to where looting and vandalism briefly broke out in early August after a police officer shot to death teenager Michael Brown. "I bring an extra gun now only because it has a bigger magazine," McMullen says. He began carrying it after tensions increased in the area following the shooting. He says he would never use it to protect his business, but he would use it to save his life. So maybe I get trapped here or something and have to have a John Wayne shootout," McMullen says before interrupting himself, smiling. "That's the silly part about it: Is that going to happen? Not a chance. But I guess, could it? I'm the only white person here." McMullen is particularly cautious now, as all of Ferguson and much of the nation waits to see whether a grand jury will indict Officer Darren Wilsonfor the shooting. Though the grand jury has until January to issue its ruling, the prosecutor's office has said a decision could come in mid-November. McCullen warns others considering getting a gun not to be reckless. When his adult son told him he wanted a gun to protect himself after the grand jury decision, McMullen warned him not to rush into it. "People like him need to think about it, and not think about 'I'm worried about this stuff,' " McMullen says. On Monday, Steven King, who owns Metro Shooting Supplies told CNN that customers bought 100 guns this weekend. A typical weekend brings in about 30 buyers. "People are afraid they are gonna throw Molotov cocktails," says King, referring to the mostly nonviolent protests that have taken place in Ferguson since the shooting. The increase in gun sales reaches across racial and ethnic lines, he says. |

Re: Ferguson Gun Purchases Up
I think Ferguson will be much more violent the second time around. Before they were holding onto hope the cop would go to jail. If he gets off, all the hope is lost.

Re: Ferguson Gun Purchases Up
It didn't "implode" with all the Trayvon Martins running around committing crimes and rioting. And attacking cops. Shoot all rioters on sight. Shoot them twice. Den find dey mamas and shoot dem twice.  · |

Re: Ferguson Gun Purchases Up
In a way this decision could define the next few years in America. It could get very ugly. And for what? A guy who basically begged the cop to shoot him.

Re: Ferguson Gun Purchases Up
LOL...seeing some of the moronic comments coming from random Ferguson citizens, there is no hope for that town. I'm going to make some popcorn, get comfy and watch it all unfold on tv.  |
