SCHENECTADY – While most people are hunkering down during the novel coronavirus pandemic, quite a few appear to be arming up.
“You ever watch those old Westerns and the tumbleweeds are floating through?” said Craig Serafini, owner of Upstate Guns & Ammo in Schenectady. “Well, that’s not what’s happening here.”
Serafini said he’s seen between a 500 percent to 1,000 percent increase in foot traffic in his State Street gun shop since it became apparent that the new coronavirus was spreading in the United States.
