Los Angeles sheriff: gun shops not essential, must close
1 / 4CORRECTION Virus Outbreak CaliforniaCORRECTS TO CULVER CITY, INSTEAD OF LOS ANGELES Guns are advertised for sale at a gun shop Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in Culver City, Calif. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he would like to see gun shops shut down."We will be closing them, they are not an essential function," Villanueva said. Adding guns to households where more people are at home during a crisis increases the risk that someone will be shot, he said.
A few hours after the counsel's statement, a spokesman for the sheriff's department said Villanueva has suspended efforts to close the shops. Deputy Ed Luna said the department is evaluating its next steps. Villanueva said the order was meant to keep open gun and ammunition businesses that support police departments and other security organizations.
Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, had said his organization was looking at legal action.
