People are afraid that they’re going to need it," said Williams.“The world is a crazy place right now," said Joe Riggs.Riggs and his wife were prepared to take a class and buy a pistol.“We just want to, if something happens, no matter what, that we will be able to protect ourselves and have the knowledge to be able to do that and not be afraid to do what needs to be done," said Riggs.For now business is good.“We expect gun sales to go crazy for the next month or two, but the problem with that is we can’t get re-supplied," said Williams.But the long-term is uncertain.
