In illinois - gun sales sky- rocketing - as americans look for protection.... lines at some stores - even wrapping around the sides of buildings.... images of violence and looting throughout the chicago area - prompted many who have never considered owning a gun before - to purchase one.... josh graf / wood dale resident graf says: "i briefly looked at buying one when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.
And you know the gun shops, every one you called they're either sold out or there's a huge waiting list."
Mos 2 says: "i'm not comfortable.
It's scary.
And i have too many family members that i worry about."
Nationally - gun sales in april were up 71- percent compared to last year.... and already the f-b-i has recorded 15- million background checks in 20-20.... that's more than half the total number of checks from 20-19.... but gun control advocates say - studies show self-defense gun use - occurs in less than one percent of all crimes.... stay with 44news as the unrest continues.... you can find more information about local protests - at wevv dot com - on our social media - and by downloading the 44news app.
