What Obama Doesn’t Want You To Know About Ferguson
LESSON FROM FERGUSON: WHEN CHAOS COMES, DON’T WAIT ON COPS
Gun owners, preppers urge Americans to get ready

The owners of County Guns and St. Louis Ink Tattoo Studio have defended their stores each night during the Ferguson riots.
One of the lessons from Ferguson, Missouri, ignored by the 24/7 media frenzy, was that store owners who stood and defended their shops with guns did not get looted or vandalized.
At County Guns and the adjacent St. Louis Ink Tattoo Studio, peace and calm reigned.
Adam Weinstein, owner of County Guns, shares a storefront with his business partner on Florissant Avenue less than 10 minutes from where rioters started looting and burning businesses after a peaceful prayer vigil Sunday night, Aug. 10. The protest of slain teenager Michael Brown had suddenly turned violent.
Hearing news reports of the spreading lawlessness, Weinstein and his partner, tattoo artist Mike Gutierrez, decided to act.
They rounded up a few friends and prepared to protect their businesses. With force if necessary.
When they arrived at their stores, the Dollar General in the same strip mall had already been looted.
“As soon as I saw they were getting closer to the store, I called my partner and we went up there and cleared out all the inventory,” he said, in an effort to stop the looters from getting a slew of free weapons from his gun store.
“And once we were up there things were getting even hairier and so we said, what the heck, let’s just suit up in all our tactical gear and stand out there with our guns in front of the stores,” Weinstein told WND.
Weinstein stood with his AR-15 assault rifle, a pistol and tactical vest while Gutierrez and several employees of the two stores also carried rifles.
They not only protected their own stores but the other shops in the strip mall.
