This is the time of year where I usually make gift suggestions in this space. I\u2019ve been doing that already with a book suggestion here, and a garment suggestion there. For hardware, though\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026we\u2019re in the worst possible time for that. It\u2019s hard to suggest what guns and ammo to buy for the shooters you care about when guns are scarce and ammo is scarcer, and <\/strong>outrageously expensive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s to do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d suggest gift certificates from your local (ideally, the gift recipient\u2019s local) gun shop. Industry sources tell me that availability and pricing won\u2019t be coming back to anywhere near normal until well <\/em>into 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure the gift certificate is good for at least a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re also doing a good deed for your local gun shop. You\u2019d think with all the demand, they\u2019d be rolling in profits, but that\u2019s not the case. Demand notwithstanding, they can\u2019t sell what they can\u2019t get into inventory. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the time of year where I usually make gift suggestions in this space.
