KINGSLEY, IA -
"It makes a great hunting rifle for coyotes and fox in our area," said Shooting Shop owner Bob Farmer Monday, pointing out an AR-style rifle.
But now some are worried about that type of gun, after one was used in the Connecticut shooting December 14th.
In fact, more than 20 people called The Shooting Shop in Kingsley, Iowa Monday morning, both folks worried they won't be able to buy guns soon and people who are now scared.
Farmers says with background checks, permits and waiting periods in Iowa, the laws are fine, it's what happens after the guns get home that could use a little work.
"You just use good common sense about securing your handguns or your long guns," said Farmer.
Handguns are required to come with trigger or cable lock when sold, but you can never go wrong with the right safe.
Bob says that even in schools, the right safe and a trained administrator might mean the difference between life and death.
"You have a safe with your hand print, you can keep a firearm there," said Farmer. "It protects a bunch of defenseless people."
All schools in the state of Iowa are weapons free zones and many businesses also have signs posted to prevent licensed carriers from bringing their guns inside.
