PENSACOLA- Its getting harder to bear arms…
Guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves at local stores.
Business owners say it’s been happening ever since the new administration took office.
First on 3 Channel Three’s Grace White shows us what one local shop is doing to make up for the shortfall.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “It’s hard to find ammunition, it’s hard to find some of these weapons, I’ve got people calling me up saying I can’t find it… can you help me?”
Larry Blackburn says he’s been ordering supplies daily to keep up with demand.
At ammunition sales…Blackburn’s local shop… Sales have quadrupoled since last year.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “You can thank President Obama for that, he’s the best salesman I never had to employ.”
Though the Obama Administration has introduced no legislation… Just the possibility is enough to make some people buy.
Ed Kessler, Gun owner: “I think people are nervous about the new administration and what is going to happen with gun control laws.”
“Everyone is in an uproar right now, they are buying guns, they are buying ammunition, but they don’t know what for.”
The most common type of handgun used for self defense… Blackburn says is a 380 automatic handgun.
Grace White, Reporter: “Since 380 ammunition is out of stock, this local gun shop is selling people the parts so they can make this on their own.”
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “You threaten to take something away from somebody, they get upset and they buy everything they can get and that’s whats happened.”
It’s a solution that allows blackburn to keep a steady stream of sales and provide customers with what they want.
In Pensacola Grace White Channel Three News.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “If he would back off his stance on gun control and all this regulation, sells would settle back down to normal, but right now they are off the scale.”
We did check with another local gun shop who had 380 in stock… But they said you’ll pay a higher price for it than you did a few months ago.
