Some suburban St. Louis gun dealers have been doing brisk business, particularly among first-time buyers, as fearful residents await a grand jury's decision on whether to indict the police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown.
Metro Shooting Supplies, in an area near the city's main airport, reports selling two to three times more weapons than usual in recent weeks — an average of 30 to 50 guns each day — while the jury prepares to conclude its three-month review of the case that sparked looting and weeks of sometimes-violent protests in August.
"We're selling everything that's not nailed down," owner Steven King said. "Police aren't going to be able to protect every single individual. If you don't prepare yourself and get ready for the worst, you have no one to blame but yourself."

Reminds me of people going ape at the grocery store the day or hours before a big storm hits. All the milk and bread is usually gone....for milk sandwiches(?).

:) Well, there is a soup you can make when you have nothing but milk and saltines. Just warm up the milk, crumble up the saltines and add whatever spices you might have. Guess you could do it with bread also.
