Guns and ammunition are disappearing off store shelves in the Chicago area.
Is it fueled by gun-ban fears, or something else? CBS 2’s Courtney reports.
Several gun store owners say they started noticing a surge in sales after
mass shootings like the ones in Aurora, Colo. and Newtown, Conn.
To add fuel to the fire, customers really began flocking to their stores when
politicians started talking about making changes to gun laws.
Empty cases, bare shelves, and a phone that’s been ringing off the hook –
that’s what things have been like for Don Mastrianni inside his Elmwood Park
gun store.
“You can’t get them in here fast enough. As a matter of fact, for a while, I
was selling things before I actually got them,” Mastrianni, owner of Illinois
Gun Works, says.
Gun store owners tell CBS 2 they’re having a hard time replenishing their
supply because most nationwide distributors are also out of stock.
