 Run on Guns and Ammo Reported Anecdotally

In response to a rapid rise in the number of cases uncovered in Texas--probably due in part to more extensive testing recently--Governor Greg Abbot issued an order last night requiring a 14-day self-quarantine for travelers into Texas by road from Louisiana.  Air travel from Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, and the states of California and Washington will also have to self-quarantine for 14 days in Texas.  (El Paso Times, click here).  However, this order does not apply, at least for the moment, for travelers from New Mexico or Colorado or Arkansas or Oklahoma. Louisiana is the site of a serious local outbreak of the virus.

El Paso and El Paso County issued a stay at home public health order, telling residents to remain home, except for essential trips such as buying groceries, caring for a family member or visiting a doctor.  This represents a tightening of restrictions on public movement.

From various sources I have learned that there is a run on guns and ammunition in this area.
