Guns and Range Training Center in West Palm Beach is seeing a boom in business as buyers flock to the shooting range looking to buy arms and ammo.
Mike Shkop, the owner of the center says the rise in sales nearly doubled since the start of the pandemic.
"It is the wave of a first-time buyer," said Shkop. "So most of the people have never shot a gun so most of the people it is not a hobby they are just looking for protection."
In Florida, background checks for gun sales continue to exceed previous years and according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, more than 1.5 million background checks have been conducted as of Dec 28th.
