Town where Chris Lane died buys up guns

Fearful residents in the Oklahoma city where Australian Chris Lane was gunned down are buying up handguns to protect themselves.

One of Duncan's most popular gun shops, Danny's Gun Pawn, is reporting a rise in sales of handguns.

Top of the shopping list is the Ruger LCP, a US-made, ultra-light .38 calibre pistol that can be carried in a purse or concealed on the body.

'Oh yeah,' Elaine, a spokeswoman at the shop who did not want to give her surname, replied on Thursday when asked if there had been a rise in sales since Mr Lane's death a week ago.

'Mostly handguns. It is hunting season coming up, but I'm not selling any hunting guns.

'Everyone is looking for concealed carry.'

Despite Duncan police chief Danny Ford denying gangs may have influenced the three boys - James Edwards, 15, Chancey Luna, 16, and Michael Jones, 17 - to randomly target Mr Lane and shoot him in the back as he jogged along a Duncan road, locals disagree.

They told AAP gangs are infiltrating the city and recruiting their youth.

James Johnson, the father of 17-year-old Chris Johnson who police believe was the next target of the trio, told Fairfax Media Edwards, Luna and Jones were trying to recruit his son into a gang.

The three teens were arrested in a car outside Johnson's home four hours after Mr Lane was killed.

A shotgun was allegedly found under a spare tyre in the car's boot.

Gun advocates in the US say guns are not the problem.

'Everyone is screaming gun control, but that's not going to change anything,' Elaine, who described herself as being 'heartbroken' over Mr Lane's death, said.

'Guns are already under control.

Actually, it's a .380 ACP. Nice gun, terrible trigger.

What don't you like about the trigger. I have one, but I haven't put a lot of rounds through it. Definitely an up close and personal weapon. At least, I lacked any kind of accuracy out past a few yards with it. But, I didn't notice any issues with the trigger.

You can thank Obozo for this. He has single-handedly turned race relations back 30 years. He hates white people.

Race relations are certainly getting worse, and I'm fairly certain that feral black kids think they have a free hand at killing whites because we have a black president.

But Obozo had plenty of help with destroying race relations. Congress, the media, the welfare state set up this cascade of idiocy and hate, Obozo is the figurehead, the current leader of the charge.

If I knew how to photoshop, I'd take the famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware, insert Obama and other race baiters and call it Obama Crossing the River of Hate.

I don’t know that it is a terrible trigger as much as it is a looooong trigger pull which is supposed to be a safety feature. I find it just makes shooting uncomfortable but it seems to be a good idea on a pocket gun with no safety.

I wonder what would happen if the local firearms retailers announced they would not sell any guns to Negroes?

Think of the fun!

Yeah, a .38 special revolver called the LCR.

Along with the .380 auto LCP.

I like my LCR better than my 442.

Looks like the peckerwoods in Duncan, OK intend to stand their ground against Obama’s sons.

Mine’s a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

Unless it's phased, you're carrying around a pea-shooter...

I bought a pistol at a great gun shop in Duncan back in the 70s while I was at Fort Sill. That guy also sold the best smoked hams in the world.

I know. I’m waiting until the next model and hoping the price drops a little.

This is good news. Another town recognizes they have to be self reliant.
