Matt NormanGun Shops worth seeing I-75 KY, TN, & GA
I'm heading to southwest Georgia this week and need suggestions for gunshops (or gun heavy pawnshops) to stop at along I-75 in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. Once I get to Atlanta I will be heading south on Hwy 19 towards Albany.
I'm very familiar where to go in Ohio but if you know of a place that has a lot of used, older, or otherwise interesting firearms along the route please let me know. Prefer places with a lot of long guns (other than black rifles) that have 'local character'.
Thanks in advance.

TrapperPGo check out Chuck's Firearms, 3099 Peachtree Rd Ne, Atlanta, GA - Also might want to visit "The FishHawk" right next door, especially if you are into fishing.

Nitro ExpressIt would mean a slight detour off I-75, but if you have the time, go see Tom Johnston at Top Guns:
www.topgunsatlanta.com . Be aware he has limited hours & is only open Mon-Wed. Lots of high-end rifles.
And while it's not a gunshop, you would really enjoy making a quick stop at McMicken Taxidermy in Cartersville, on GA 120 just a couple of miles west of I-75. If Darrell is there, he'll show you his personal trophy room--well worth the time.

Matt NormanI did make it to Barrow Automotive in Butler (GA) and was quite impressed with the selection of better end rifles/shotguns.
