NY and Miami were already big markets with bigger stores and easier access, but I'm sure it played a part. There were LA gangs and bikers that networked Little Rock, and Mena was so remote that the high traffic of weapons and drugs in and out was noticed only by locals. In rural AR there were stockpiles of munitions in underground bunkers built from WW.II. During the Iran/Contra hearings our govt confirmed that lying is more important to its officials than any oath of office. Now they're stupid liars since they reckon they'll just keep getting away with it, or so it seems.
