2016 Christmas Ideas for the Gun Nut

It's that time of year again folks.....


You have heard of the Wine of the Month Club and the Jelly of the Month Club, why not a Tactical Item(s) of the Month Club?

That is what the guys at Tac Pac did, from their website:

A TacPack is a gift box full of tactical gear that gets delivered to your door step every month. Each month you will receive a package through the mail with 3-7 pieces of new tactical & EDC gear inside. Your TacPack subscription will automatically charge you monthly on the 15th. You can cancel at anytime without any strings attached....

Like Cousin Eddie says: "Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year"


Another gift that keeps giving is a Subscription to a magazine....Guns and Ammo is a good choice


As is a membership in the NRA, the receiver of this gift gets their choice of four different monthly periodicals, free insurance (injury, life and gun) as well as discounts to nationwide retailers. They are also giving away a free duffel bag again this year....click here for more details




We'll kick this off with some small items that can also act as stocking stuffers....

 This unique .44 magnum revolver ring is a bit pricey, but they are handmade.....see them here


These solid copper Molon Labe rings and coins are available from Etsy


Now that we have a Republican run government, the calls for gun control and the ensuing panic buying will come to an end....so why not pick up some .22 LR ammo, 100 round boxes of CCI Mini-Mag and Winchester Super X work perfect for stocking stuffers





CCI is producing special edition Christmas ammo just for this purpose...

While we are talking about 22 ammo, why not get them a magazine for their .22 rifle or pistol?
Ruger recently introduced a new version of their BX-25 magazine with one side made from translucent plastic.
 Also available now (after a lengthy wait) the high capacity Mag Pul Pmags for Glock pistols
 Your loved one might appreciate a speed loader for their AR rifle magazines....these ones are made by Pops Cabinet Shop


Picking up spent brass is made much easier with this device from Ammobroom.com


 If your gun nut is a fan of revolvers, these unique speed loaders from Maxfire might be just what they need, get them from Midway USA


How about some items for the man cave? These 12 gauge coasters will protect the furniture, Amazon has them


Also from Amazon are these couch pillows with the image from an old Iver Johnson advertisement....


Round out your shopping on Amazon with these "Freeze" ice cube trays.....a great gift for the your hoplophobic friends...see them here






Ugly sweaters were all the rage a few Christmases ago, you could get one of these
If your gun nut is a fan of '80s movies here are some neat shirts to remind them of their favorites...this 1st one is from the 1988 action thriller Die Hard. get them here


From the 1984 movie Beverly Hills Cop, the Beverly Hills Gun Club T-shirt, get them here


Or the 1984 film Red Dawn....Wolverines! get them here


While not a "gun" film, it was a favorite of many....the advice given to the bar bouncers by Dalton (played by Patrick Swayze): "Be Nice unit it is time to Not Be Nice", get them here



We have recommended books by RL Wilson in the past and this is another good one, Amazon has them in new, used and digital (Kindle) versions


How about a BBQ lighter that looks like a rifle?


How about a US M2 "Pineapple" Grenade made of chocolate?


 A politically incorrect desk lamp?





If you are getting them the desk lamp, you might as get them the pen holder to go with it:


If your gun owner's safe is getting a little crowded, one of these door organizers from American Security will help, the folks at Dean Safe will help you pick the right one







If none of these items are what you are looking for, see my previous years suggestions: 2015 and 2013
