L.A. County's decision to leave firearm stores open during the coronavirus is already leaving one business owner with more customers than he could ask for ... many of whom are newbies to the gun game.tells TMZ ... he is one of a few gun shops in the area that has seen lines out the door and around the corner lately, as people flock in to pick up a piece for protection. Interestingly, he also says many are first-time buyers.
Those aren't the only items folks are picking up though -- Schwartz says people are snatching up just about anything they can get their hands on, ammo included. The main rationale he says he's hearing from those walking in his door ... protecting their homes at all costs. It's fascinating ... seems like buyers anticipate massive chaos and eventual looting.
BTW, Schwartz is being responsible with the frenzy ... he says he encourages customers to social distance while in line, and only lets a limited number of people inside at a time.In any case, Schwartz might have to thank some County bigwigs for the uninterrupted cash flow. Earlier this week, L.A. County Sheriffsaid he was going to be shutting down all local gun shops, as he believed they weren't essential businesses.

The looting is about to start.....just saying. These dumbasses rushing to buy guns are the kind of people who will start using them in a panic
Most people who have the PFEC paperwork to buy a gun in LA already have one. This paperwork can take 90-120 days, so the people who are buying are getting extra guns for people who will have them illegally, and later most likely sell them back on the street when this is over.
Gun activists now buying guns. Oh boy, when the shit hits the fan ya get to see how ppl really are.
Did trump tell them that they could shot the virus to kill it 😂😂😂 Legitimately sounds like something that moron would say
Yeah why didn't I think of just shooting the virus😊😊🙂
Real or not real sprint
Sprint Hunter

Time for a showdown Republicans vs Democrats 😐 not to worry, it’ll be over in five minutes, because everyone knows, who has the guns and who doesn’t 🇺🇸
So?
