I haven't purchased a gun from them since my first Glock 19 (I kick myself for selling it). I paid well over what I could get one now from a much smaller FFL dealer but I had just turned 21 and didn't know where else to buy. I've come a very long way in the last 7 years. Unless it's just a steal I'll likely never purchase a gun from BPS. Nothing against them just a bit on the expensive side.

Being another local, I'll agree that place is for looking and not buying. Their prices are just way too high.
BPS is our our place to take the boys to stare at fish. They don't know the difference between that and the GA Aquarium 
Yep. Every time I go in just to browse the guns, I have to wade through a sea of folks.

My experience with BPS in Macon sucked. The customer service at the Macon store is terrible. On the other hand:
Academy customer service is OUTSTANDING as well as their prices on guns and ammo.

I didn't even bring in the ad when I bought my Ruger SR22, just told them I'd seen it at Academy for less. They went and checked then matched.
Update: This was the Lawrenceville store
I agree about the higher prices. The store here in Savannah is usually busy. but never 2 or more deep.
The one thing they do cheaper than anyone locally is transfers. I'll order through Bud's and have it shipped to them and transfer for 25.00 plus no sales tax
You guys around Hotlanta have so much competition there are dealers that do transfers for free. You won't find that around here.
