Following the shooting of Mike Brown, the town is in a serious state of protest, and criminal activity is on the rise. Mass riots and looting has broken out in the community, leading some shop owners to amp up their self protectioneven if that means exercising their Second Amendment Rights. Such is the case for Mike Guiterrez, owner of St. Louis Ink, a tattoos shop. He shares the property with Adam Weinstein, who owns County Guns. The pair decided to team up to form their own security force and defend themselves against anyone who may try to enter the property illegally. We didnt want them coming in here and then running around with a bunch of free guns, Weinstein told reporters. When looters did make their way to the store front, the pair was able to fight them off. By the time police arrived on the scene, the situation was already under control. This is the perfect example of why the Second Amendment is so important.
