While some major retailers announced policy changes on firearms sales, local outlets said they would stay the course. “We’re going to abide by the laws that’s in place. At this time, we’ll do whatever’s there. We’re not in the business of trying to change policy. I’m going to leave that to the lawmakers elected by the people,” said Judge Farmer, manager at The Outdoor Depot.
