Like other gun stores around the country, a local gun store owner says that there’s an uptick in firearm sales.
An owner of Herndon Arms said that shortly after opening this morning, the store was busier than normal.
He added that there isn’t a specific type of firearm or weapon that has been selling more than the rest and that he wasn’t able to give any statistics or data.
Around the country, Time reported that people are fearful of the public panic that comes with rumors of empty grocery stores but public officials are reassuring everyone that there is not a food shortage around the United States.
Several cities in the U.S. announced that — despite concerns — they will not suspend the sales of firearms, according to the Chicago Tribune.
In Virginia, people must be above 18 or 21 years of age to purchase weapons, depending on the type of firearm, and take courses before they can apply for a license.
People seeking more information can check out the Virginia State Police’s website, which has a list of frequently asked questions and contact information.
