Guns and drugs are two items that have been flying off shelves since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and their publicly traded companies have benefited handsomely.

Marijuana stocks have not seen as strong a lift. But shares of the 10 largest Canadian and U.S. companies have increased 20% since August, according to Veridian Capital Advisors, a mergers & acquisition firm focused on the budding marijuana industry.

Others are entering the market for the first time based on fears that civil society is breaking down and a growing sense of lawlessness fanned by scenes of violence in American cities broadcasted into living rooms. At Sturm, Ruger firearms, sales increased 36% to $129.4 million during the three months ended June 30 compared with the same period in 2019, while at Vista Outdoor, sporting gun sales were up 8% to $334 million.

"There became this heightened sense of concern for American citizens and a fear of the unknown," he continued."A lot of people wanted to arm themselves. Sales have been extremely high – as much as 10 times higher than normal." The same goes for ammo, according to Jake Felde, chief executive of Lucky Gunner, one of the biggest ammunition wholesalers in the nation.
