U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)-In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Governor Henry McMaster issued Executive Order 2020-17 yesterday to shut down “non-essential” businesses, effective 5 PM on April 1st. The list of “non-essential” businesses does not include gun stores, exempting them from being shut down during this state of emergency.
This is excellent news for residents of the Palmetto State, as many gun-owners were concerned with being well-armed in the event of social unrest turning violent as a result of the Coronavirus.
The full executive order is hosted below for the reader’s convenience. But in a nutshell, it mandates the closing of non-essential businesses while clarifying what constitutes, “essential”. Don’t worry, Palmetto State Armory is absolutely essential.

Good for you, Governor McMaster. Whether you like it or not you have made the right decision.
Pay attention to the news. The media and Democrats are using this pandemic to enforce policies that are sending us down a dangerous path towards reliance on big government whether we like it or not. They are forming a new society fundamentally by their own frameworks. This quarantine will be a cash cow for big corps being groomed by the media. Vote with your wallets. God bless America!
I think that the firearms industries, to include manufacture and sales of all things related, had already been declared essential on a Federal level, hadn’t they?
