Ok so I've been wanting to post this for awhile because, well, it'll help me out...and maybe some of you as well! I travel over much of greater metro Atlanta down to middle GA and I KNOW I'm passing all of these gun shops that I could stop in from time to time and either my GPS doesn't know how to find them or they're classified as a "pawn shop" and I don't know if they sell guns or not. So...
Post any store that sells guns, ammo, accessories; pretty much anything that would be cool to stop by and see, in your area, or gun stores that you'd travel out of your way to stop by. NAME and LOCATION (at least the CITY) are key in order for this to work people!
Doesn't matter if you like the place or not, I just want to know where they are so I can stop by when I'm in the area to check them out. However, if you think they have something cool that no-one else has, post a short comment beside the name of the business.
Update: I took a look at trying to follow actual GA quadrants instead of Atlanta Metro quadrants and to be accurate I'd end up with N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW and I'm not that patient. So this will be based on proximity to the nearest city that I consider to be "large"; in other words, if you live near Macon, you'll find the gun stores around you under the Macon title.
