Beverly Hills Guns sees boom in business after follow-home murder
Fox News
The owner of a gun store in Beverly Hills said in an interview Tuesday that sales are booming after a string of violent crimes in the city that included last month’s killing of Jacqueline Avant, the wife of a legendary music producer.
"Firearms and public safety is not a rich issue," Stuart said. "We’ve seen an uptick in watch robberies, car thefts, follow-home invasions because of the climate of crime in Beverly Hills and throughout the Greater Los Angeles area."
The Hollywood Reporter also published an article that said some of Los Angeles’ richest residents have taken new measures to protect themselves. Beverly Hills has experienced a 25% increase in violent crime in the past 12 months, the report said.
Aaron Jones, the president of International Protective Security, told the magazine that Avant’s murder shocked many.
