Buy from Wallyworld and support chicoms. Buy from the local guy and put a local kid through school or make a families mortgage payment.
Local guys might be making a bigger profit on the "rush for saftey panic" sales, but they still have to pay more themselves, now, to replace what is on the shelf.
It is everybodies choice whether it is guns, grocery, or auto parts and repairs. Your choice, your communities loss or gain.
