Does anyone actually shop at a gun shop anymore?

In SW GA Pinetree Gun and Pawn in Thomasville is one of the best. Nice people and big inventory, also negotiable on price and will order anything for you slightly above cost.

I like to shop locally to support local folks and give them every chance to be competitive and still make a buck. I'm not a fan of buying from the big guys on the internet as many of them are just storefronts for manufacturers and distributors. The time I spend looking for guns and going to local shops puts me in contact with some really interesting people and some very knowledgeable folks. Also get leads on other guns and collections. You wont get that with the interweb experience. There you are just a dollar sign with no soul.

I'm a baby boomer so your birth date may influence your decision and if so that's ok but I hope you reconsider.

Just picked up a Ruger Mark IV from a local gun shop.

My Brick and Mortar purchases are usually limited to rare/odd used guns that I do not often see on here. Drove by a place that rhymes with "Slide" this morning and they were bragging about their $550 Sig P365's......

Case in point. Popped in a shop today. Nice used Glock 43, with 4 mags and box for $370. Asked if they would do $370 out the door and wouldn't budge. No problem but with tax I'm at near what I can get it on here for. Said thank you and moved on.

Sometimes but I live in the NE Ga area and Ga gun store and Country boy sports have some really good prices most of the time.

My wife says I’m in my lgs way too much! It’s both a blessing and a curse living where I do, I’m 5 minutes from Dawsonville Gun, 10 minutes from Dahlonega Gold and Pawn, 15 minutes from Appalachian Armory, and 20 minutes from Ga Gun Store. SO MANY guns.....so little money to spend

Most times it's hard to come up with $600, $700, or $800 in one chunk for something I really can't live without so I've bought a lot of guns on layaway from Cherokee G&P and Hi Caliber.

Walked in to one I had never seen before and there was me and I presume the owner. He only looked up from his computer ot TV and grunted when I came in. I spent less than 15 seconds in there and walked out.
