The COVID-19 pandemic changed everyday life, mainly for the worse. Small businesses were hit especially hard, with many industries such as restaurants, bars, hair and nail salons and tourism virtually shut down for much of the past year.
But one industry has thrived during this time – guns. Pistols, rifles and shotguns are selling in numbers never seen before. Shopkeepers can’t keep ammunition on the shelves – or in many cases, even get it to the shelves. And the FBI is running background checks at a record pace.

GREAT FALLS â A study released by WalletHub last month ranks Montana as the best among all 50 states (and D.C.) for physicians. They were analyzed using what WalletHub calls two dimensions: opportunity and competition, and medical environment.

Working as a physician in Montana is the perfect fit for Dr. Jay Taylor, the chief of staff at Pondera Medical Center in Conrad. I ve enjoyed coming back because of the lifestyle, really ultimately.

I kind of had ideas growing up what I wanted to do with regard to family medicine, the things I wanted to be able to do, and Montana allows me to do that,â he said.
Your Turn: Cranbury should opt out of marijuana sales
Would you sign a mortgage not knowing the terms and conditions? Would you accept a doctor’s recommendation for surgery if the doctor said, “I need money. I’ll send you to the hospital and do an appendectomy, brain surgery or maybe a heart bypass. Not sure what I’ll do until we’re there, so just say yes.”
Of course not, no one would.
Yet, that is exactly what the state wants Cranbury and other towns to do if they decide to opt-in to participate in the new marijuana laws.
