Let me get this right.  So if I was standing in an Illinois gun shop when the order came down I would be forced to shelter in the gun shop for the duration?

That's an order I could obey.

Here is the section on firearms from the executive order, buried with many other items. Phrases may need to be better define, but here it is in black and white. Not sure if "Citizen Joe" can go to the store and buy something for themselves. Of course, "Citizen Joe" should have been ready for this a long time ago before a crisis happened. I will be driving by the biggest gun store in my neck of the woods today and I'll bet the parking lot will be overflowing as people have until 5 pm today before the executive order takes affect. No more joy riding, either. Lasts until 4/7.

"Supplies for Essential Businesses and Operations.  Businesses that sell, manufacture, or supply other Essential Businesses and Operations with the support or materials necessary to operate, including computers, audio and video electronics, household appliances; IT and telecommunication equipment; hardware, paint, flat glass; electrical, plumbing and heating material; sanitary equipment; personal hygiene products; food, food additives, ingredients and components; medical and orthopedic equipment; optics and photography equipment; diagnostics, food and beverages, chemicals, soaps and detergent; and firearm and ammunition suppliers and retailers for purposes of safety and security;"

You would like "my store". It has the usual black guns and hunting guns. It also has antique firearms, including an 1898 military Krag for $800 and an 1896 military Krag for $600. The 1896 is wrongfully listed as an 1898, which I pointed out to them.
