Gun shop owners in West Palm Beach, Fla., say the city's State of Local Emergency is forcing them to turn away customers. West Palm declared the emergency last Sunday amid George Floyd protests. A State of Local Emergency prohibits the sale of firearms and alcohol. During a State of Local Emergency, it is also illegal to possess a firearm in a public place. Alex Shkop, the owner of Guns and Range Training Center, told the paper gun buyers can visit other gun shops in other Palm Beach County municipalities that haven’t declared a State of Local Emergency.
