US-GUN-SHOP-NEAR-FERGUSON-SEES-INCREASE-IN-BUSINESS-AHEAD-OF-AWA
BRIDGETON, MO - NOVEMBER 12: Steven King (R) helps Sara (C) and Dennis Happel shop for a handgun they want to buy for home defense at Metro Shooting Supplies on November 12, 2014 in Bridgeton, Missouri. The suburban St. Louis store is located near Ferguson, Missouri where several weeks of sometimes violent protests erupted following the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9th. The gun shop last week experienced a 300 percent increase in sales over the same period last year. About 60 percent of those sales were from first-time gun owners. The increase is attributed in part to concern from residents of additional outbreaks of violence if the grand jury investigating Brown's death does not find justification to prosecute Wilson for the shooting. The grand jurys decision is expected sometime in November. Scott Olson/Getty Images/AFP
