Kind of the opposing view as another thread, and NOT trying to be hit any sort of a "viral" angle, or price gouging angle, although that may not be possible, what have you wanted to buy and could not, or could not at anything approaching a reasonable price?

For me, it was Automatch 22. I have enough to get by, and should have been ordering while everyone was going batchit crazy for toilet paper, but didn't. Also, some ball 9mm. Looked, and unobtanium without giving up a firstborn.
 
I'm fairly well stocked with Guns and Ammo, but if I had a chance I'm have picked up some more 12 Gauge buck and slugs. It's the only thing I'm not fully stocked on.
 
I wanted to buy a Marlin 336D from a friend but with all the economic uncertainty right now, it may be unwise to buy a $1000+ semi-collectible rifle right now.
 
Late last year I bought two Ruger SR9 pistols at fire sale prices, but then procrastinated picking up any 9mm range ammo. Only had 150 rounds left for my Kahr CW9.
Of course too late now.
But was pleased to find two more boxes when digging around, so with 250 rounds I don’t feel quite as naked.
 
Peeps ... you know, the colored sugar coated marshmallow chicks and bunnies that for some odd reason are only sold at Easter time.

This isn't unusual ... the wife rarely lets me go to the store because ... she says, I buy a bunch of sweets and useless crap, then she has to go to the store anyway ...

I don't know, I'm sure they would have to mail it tho. I have to stop and see if the town hall is open, I can get it at Wal-Mart but there was no one in sight. I just spend 5 days at dmv to renew my drivers license, so I am avoiding some places lol.

As long as you have the receipt printed saying you bought it or email confirmation you should be good.

If you get stopped just show them that and say the actual license is in the mail from the state.

Governor closed all "non-essential" businesses. Should've got a haircut so it doesn't get in my eyes as I shoot at my home range.

I bought a $15 set of clippers and haven't paid for a haircut in years. I only know one style though. Thinnest gaurd it has leaves just enough hair to keep my hat from sliding off. Only difference between a good haircut and a bad one is about 2 weeks anyway. Works out to basically a free box of ammo every few weeks.

Wish I woulda drove the hour out of the way to get the powder I wanted to try instead of staying local and getting some I can try.

This is good advice. Every time I take the family in and spend $60+ every 3-4 weeks, it urks me.

I should point out, I'm not allowed to touch my son's hair. He and Mama outvoted me. Make one joke about a mohawk and I'm banished from cutting his hair.

Also wish I could have ordered the bullets I wanted to try but were out of stock everywhere.

Sig MPX. It wasn't even necessarily the zombie apocalypse stopping me, but the cost- but yeah, still drool a little every time I see one online.
