Los Angeles County’s top law enforcement official said gun stores can remain open amid the CCP virus pandemic, as did New Jersey’s governor.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva twice tried forcing the closure of gun stores but said in a statement that he took into account new guidance from the Department of Homeland Security that listed gun stores, manufacturers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges as essential critical infrastructure businesses.
