GUN STORES SEE SALES SPIKE IN WAKE OF FERGUSON RIOTS
For the past two days, Steve King has been unbelievably busy at his gun store, Metro Shooting at 11434 St. Charles Rock Road. King said business spiked 50 percent as local residents respond to the violent events taking place in Ferguson.
Weve sold a variety of handguns, shotguns and AR-15s (a semi-automatic rifle), King said. All of the sales are having to do with home defense.
King, who owns the store that has 17 employees and 2013 revenue of about $2 million, added that customers have ranged from new firearm buyers to those upgrading their current arsenal. He said both black and white individuals have purchased firearms at his store over the past few days.
Usually its pretty slow through the summer, but this has been a huge spike for business, King said. People are hunkering down because those events are taking place too close to their own home in some cases, a half a mile away. Lots of people are afraid.
