What happened
Firearms dealers in Paris reported a massive increase in sales of non-lethal deterrents, including pepper spray guns, telescopic batons, and iron bars. This surge occurred ahead of anticipated protests and violence. Shopkeepers are stocking up on these items due to concerns that the police have not protected private property.

Why it matters
The increased demand for defensive items reflects a low level of public faith in state protection and anticipates further civil unrest. The rush on these goods is being compared to seasonal demand spikes, such as air conditioning units.
