The horror!
GLOUCESTER — When George Allen Jr. mounted a 15-square-foot sign that reads “WE SELL AMMO” outside of his shop here, just days after a mass shooting in an Orlando nightclub, he posted the bright yellow marquee not only to let customers know about a new product on his shelves but also to make a statement in support of the Second Amendment.
“It’s a beautiful thing,” Allen said. “It’s the right to protect yourself.”
However, his timing has made some in the town uncomfortable.
“It freaked me out when I saw it,” said Mandy Davis, who lives in East Gloucester. “I had a visceral reaction. It just seemed so violent.”
