Tom Urbanski runs Ski's Firearms Training & Consulting. He also teaches the conceal carry classes.
For him, the layoffs mean big business as people are taking safety into their own hands.
"People are panicking, they're figuring the only way they can protect themselves is for them to protect themselves," says Urbanski. "So yeah, my business is booming."
Love how they give the impression of gun owners as "Panicking". More of that "deranged", etc. language to make us seem crazy for wanting to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Typical trash reporting.

When they panicked they were not gun owners. Now that they are gun owners they're not panicking.

To be fair the type of buying Toledo is seeing and that we are seeing has been called panic buying long before there was a President Obama, or Toledo police layoff. We have seen media calling purchases of lettuce corn gasoline, stocks, gold and guns as panic buying.
