Is a gun store essential business? Im thinking yes however I'm very uneducated when it comes to fire arms (Ive only fired guns on 2 separate occasions in my life). San Jose CA is saying they are closing gun stores due to them being non essential.
Everybody is stuck at home, bad time to rob people IMO. Robbers usually like low risk vacant houses because they don't want to get shot or hit over the head with an aluminum softball bat. An alarm system kicks ass too.

I view every excursion to Giant Eagle as a potential health risk. I could be shot (by microbes) and not know it for 5 - 7 days.

Use that info as you must.

Despite what some people may "feel". By modern criteria, no, gun stores are not essential businesses during this epidemic. Many will become unemployed and short of money. Save the money for necessities. If you don't have any firearms presently and haven't be trained, it's foolish to get one now. I not antigun in the least, I have many.

If it wasn't for fools or fear. Glad the shops are closing. How many panicked neighbors have loaded rifles in our residential settings now? Just stupid.

So about 15% actually have a clue beyond load, cock and shoot. I love guns. But i've been around enough to have seen accidents from pros. One in the chamber and a slight bump and here comes a .223, 7.69, .300 ect. ventilating 6 - 10 homes. Glad most of the wanna be hunters around me have 12 GA.

In another life, I worked at a full service sportsshop and shot and sighted a lot of rifles, everything from .44 mag to 30-30 and .35 Remington to .243 and .270 and '06 class through 300 and 340 Weatherby. My ears ring and shoulder sting just thinking about it.
