Dads are famously responsible for home intruders and new boyfriends heading for the hills to the tune of that trusty old pump shotgun.
We know your tacticool dad prefers shooting gloves to golf gloves, and suppressors to car mufflers. If he had it his way, he would mow the lawn wearing his MOLLE chest rig, using the tactical hand signals he learned on the latest episode of TACTV .
If your dad converted the baby stroller into a range caddy, shows off his speed reload skills at family parties, or writes off an entire 3-gun load-out as "home defense expenses," you should get him something he will really enjoy. The editors at G&A make it easy to shop for your tactical dad with our convenient 2013 father's day gift guide.
