First run of a new class I've put together on training effectively. It's on June 9 at South River Gun Club east of ATL. We'll cover how to train to improve your match results and get into using video and split times to assess performance. The class will involve shooting scenario-style drills with little time spent on fundamentals. You should be actively training outdoors in a performance-oriented manner to get the most out of this class.

Max of six students to ensure plenty of one-on-one coaching. Round count is ~400 but you can shoot more or less if you like. Expect to be pushed hard regardless of your skill level.

Details on the class: link.

Looking for a good gunsmith around around the Atlanta area I want to get my kr9 barrel chop and threaded

Hi, I’m a SC resident without a CCW. I live near the GA border and go to Augusta often. If I get a NH non resident CCW, will that be honored for me to carry concealed while visiting GA? I do plan to get a SC license at some point, but it requires a class and all and the NH is just a form and $100.

I had heard that you need a carry permit for any reciprocity and a non resident of GA doesn’t automatically get to carry permitless in GA like a GA resident can.

Thank you!

I have some rio slugs for a 20 but I’m looking for somewhere to sell it for a fair price. I’ve posted to outdoors trader but ammo isn’t really popular on there.

I’m under 21 and need to zero in an optic on a handgun. The issue is that, Shots Fired (closet range) doesn’t allow under 21s to use handguns without parents being present. I go to Clybell, however there isn’t really anyway for me to zero in a handgun optic there seeing that they just have steel targets. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I will be visiting Atlanta this month, as I’m international tourist I obviously won’t shop for guns, but I do wish to buy some accessories such as holsters, clothing, sights, springs, perhaps mags, etc.

So I’m basically looking for the places with the largest accessories section (for parts and such- mostly for Sig Sauer). The place doesn’t have to have an actual shooting range or selection of actual guns.

Where should I go look? Preferably as close to downtown/hotel district as possible.

Thanks!

Hello! I don't know if this is my first post, but I have been lurking here for a bit and I appreciate the local knowledge base. That having been said I am looking fro recommendation for an AK builder. I am thinking of installing a Sabrewerks KOP system on my SLR 104 FR and I don't have the tooling to press off and on the FSB and the gas block. I'm kinda in a bind, and if I had another AK I would leave the 104FR as is, but ishe's my go to rifle and my eyes need the optical help. I am looking for local builder/gunsmith as the thought of having my SLR away for months on end isn't appealing and the hope is a local builder would take less time. Its not like the barrel needs to be head-spaced.

Deercreek isn't really an option as the gunsmith there (not the 'Old man', but his son, the middle guy who's name keep escaping me. Don't get me wrong, they are a great family that has, otherwise, done right by me) has not shown much interest in taking AK or European rifle gunsmith work. I know, because I have tried on a number of occasions to have work done and the waffling was epic.

I don't know if GA firing line has any AK guys that could do it. Great folks, wish they still had that PSA 5.56 AK to look at.

Adventure Outhouse's gunsmith personally burned me and he's more of a 1911 kind of gunsmith anyway.

I know of the Toth tool barrel population tools he sells but after buying everything needed AND the parts from Sabrewerks..I'd be a grand deep. The golden days of building AK kits is sadly over, so buying the tooling for a single job is painful.

​

I mean well and I hope you good folks can advise me.

I live in the South Fulton area, if you search up or know of Camp Creek parkway that’s where I’m based. I’m planning on getting into reviewing guns and want to have an area I can set up my own targets and do as I please, but safely ofc. We have wooded areas around but donn’t want to risk cops showing up because concerned citizens called in a couple times so that’s off the list. Anyone know of any land or even ranges that do allow things of this nature?

As a reminder we have a GaGuns Discord! This weekend we met up at Creedmore Training Academy, where they hosted a focused training day for discord members (we limited participation, first come first serve, to prevent over crowding). If you want to jump in on the action, join on in! Also check them out. They were pretty cool folks, and Harold is a master bee keeper of bees are your thing…… one hive swarmed and was loud with Comtacs, I observed from a distance while some of these folks decided to walk in the swarm to play with some bees ha. Fat chance we are going to make this a triannual or semiannual thing, so jump on in, make fun of people’s gats, and let’s all look like idiots together <3

I live in South ga and I don't know what to do about a situation. My dad pawned a rifle about a week and a half ago. When it came time to get it back from them they said he had a red flag on his background check witch shouldnt be possible because he's not a felon and the only charges he ever had was simple battery from back in the day. He's bought 2 other rifles since then and nothing has came up. Im having a hard time figuring how to challenge the deny because everything online keeps takinge to the same article.

In short can someone tell me how to challenge a firearm deny

I just moved to Georgia and a friend wants to trade me a pistol and/or a rifle for some tools.
I've never owned a firearm before. I know private sales don't need background checks but if I take this trade, do I need to do anything else? Are they just mine? If, for whatever reason, a cop asks me about them I don't need a receipt or registry? My friend assures me a private sell needs no documentation.

I just want to make sure, legally, there isn't anything else that needs to happen.

I’m about to travel to Georgia for the weekend. I have a Tarus G2C 9MM and was wondering if I was able to bring it to GA? I’ve tried researching but not getting a straight answer. I do not have a conceal carry because it’s not needed in NC to open carry. Anyone help me out? If I do bring it am I allowed to open carry in public?

We have been inundated with posts of people asking if they can carry at 18 in Georgia if they obtain an out of state CCW. We have a search bar. Please use it. New posts about this topic will be removed.

Has even contacted USCCA or any other popular firearms sites , to change the incorrect information on 18 + year old's carrying with anothor states license?. Feel like it's a bit of a secret, and more people should know about it.

I moved to Georgia very recently and I am not really familiar with the gun laws here exactly other than knowing people under 21 cant be walking around with a pistol legally. I am turning 18 very soon and I want to be able to own/carry a firearm LEGALLY without going to jail. My parents and all of my uncles own guns and always tell me how crazy people are nowadays and that you never know when a crazy person will start attacking you and you might not be able to defend yourself. The crime in ATL really seems dangerous so I do believe them sometimes.

Hello fellow Georgians I just move to Se Atlanta from Jersey( I’m not behind enemy lines anymore 😂)and was looking for a good outdoor range with 1k yards or close to it. Thanks in advance

Are there any good gun shops south of Warner Robins, preferably not too far from I-75?

Lurker here, but a native of GA through and through. But to get right to it: I am considering going to the RK gunshow in Marietta on APR 13 and I haven't been to a show in over 15 years. I am looking for things like FR-8 rifles, or a rifled barrel for my 870, maybe some 5.45 ammo...a mix of C&R and East bloc stuff: Would it be worth the traffic to go? If not, where would be better for C&R stuff?

EDIT: I live on the edge of the Atlanta metro area, in Kennesaw.

Have any of you been there and what was your experience like. I plan on going there this month.

Live now on Youtube!

Guns In America: Debate on Gun Control with David Hogg and Spike Cohen (youtube.com)

( QUESTIONS ANSWERED! I an now aware of the abundant amount of posts that are this exact question and i do apologize but i am thankful for the helpful comments! ) so i just moved to GA, ive done a minor amount of digging and i do plan on researching more but i figured i would come here and and see if anyone knows the answers to my questions first hand. so first i am aware that you can purchase a Handgun in GA at 18+ without a CWP. Im wondering what the laws are to carrying that handgun in GA. i am 20. it seems its not possible to get the CWP because i do not match any of the circumstances in which i would qualify to get one under 21. so is there a law on Open Carrying a handgun under 21? i cant seem to find a straight up answer when i search for it so far.

Anyone CCW at Fernbank Museum recently to know if its possible? Or are there metal detectors/wands etc? Never been and can't seem to find anything recent enough to answer this question. Thanks!

A rundown of this year's legislative efforts by Andy McClure (I'm not the OP).

​

As many of you may know, the Georgia General Assembly completed their required 40 day session last Thursday with the much celebrated, traditional pronouncement of "Sine Die" (Latin, meaning "without a day"). This completes a 2 year legislative cycle, and bills that had languished or stalled out in the first 40 day session in 2023 were still viable and 'alive' for possible final passage this session. After last Thursday, any bill that did not gain final passage by both legislative chambers effectively died. Committee agendas are cleared, and calendars are reset and everything will start fresh in January 2025.

During this 2 year cycle, hundreds of bills are introduced from legislators from all over our state, with dozens and dozens being assigned to various committees, where few are actually heard and even fewer that make it to floor votes in the house and senate. While these bills deal with everything from business to schools to insurance to mental health to farming and hunting, as a gun rights activist, I primarily focus on 2A and gun related bills that directly affect our ability as law abiding Georgia citizens to own and carry firearms. It is on that criteria that I give this legislative session a C-.

This year's session started out hopeful enough with relative quick passage in the Republican controlled state senate of SB344 by Jason R. Anavitarte , which created a sales tax holiday for guns & ammo during the 2 weeks before big game firearms season each October. Predictably, it passed along party lines with Republicans having a clear majority. *FYI- EVERY Republican Legislator is 'pro gun' but only in speeches and campaign fliers, (remember that)* Once in the Republican controlled house, the bill was radically changed in committee, and the version voted on by house members had NOTHING to do with a gun & ammo sales tax holiday. It became a rural broadband bill. The Senate agreed and the original language was lost. So NO gun/ammo sales tax holiday. Dead. But remember, all Republicans are 'pro gun' (riiiiiiiiight). Also in the house, HB971 was introduced that created a tax credit for anyone purchasing a gun safe, trigger locks, gun cases, or anyone taking a firearm training or safety course. I personally supported this idea but there were others who felt it flirted with gun rights infringement by even daring to mention a "training course." This bill passed the house by an overwhelming vote of 162 to 3, only to meet stonewalling and tabling in the state senate. It died too. "But we're all still pro-gun Republicans". Keep remembering that. There were several bills that would have removed more prohibited locations for legal firearms carry but none of those even got a hearing. Then we have SB36, a sexual crimes bill that dealt with pimping and pandering. Once this bill passed the Senate and went over to the house, anti gun language was added in committee that basically created a loophole for hundreds of city and county governments to exploit across the state to create MORE 'Gun Free Zones' . This revised, now anti-gun bill passed a Republican controlled committee (remember, they're pro gun), and made it to the house Rules committee, which decides what bills reach the floor for a final vote. This anti gun bill was a breath away from being voted on by the full house! Thankfully, with some last minute earnest lobbying from people like myself who contacted their representative, and thanks to the gun rights group GA2A, (and absolutely NO help from the NRA and their lobbyist who didn't lift a finger to stop it), the bill was recommitted and the anti gun language was removed. This was MUCH too close of a call. Speaker Ralston would never have allowed this bill to advance as far as it did with anti gun language. This bill ultimately passed the House but was not re-voted on by the Senate. It died as well. Lastly, we come to HB1018, the ONLY gun related bill that managed to pass both houses. This bill will prohibit banks, credit unions and other lending institutions in Georgia from denying lawful firearms purchases with their debit/credit cards (yes, this was actually becoming an issue in Georgia). I want to thank my own house rep, Johnny Chastain for supporting this bill and for Jason Ridley for writing it. Good job guys. Thanks to my Senator, majority leader Steve Gooch for putting his support behind it in the Senate. While this is a good step, it's a sad commentary that this was the only serious gun related bill that both 'pro gun' Republican controlled houses could agree on. So while this bill crossed the goal line, there was way too much fumbling on other bills. So I'm forced to give a C minus on gun rights. Thanks guys, but do better. Much better.

I bought a Silver Eagle SE-17 when I turned 18 from a pawn shop and walked out a gun owner practically the second I set the iPad down.

Now that I’m 20 and trying to get a Moss 88 from Academy to replace the SE-17, I have to wait? I mean, how hard is it to look up my social on the computer and see that I have no felonies? Why now instead of “always been that way?”

Hey guys, I’ll be in metro Atlanta for few days and was wondering if you guys knew of any local stores that stock IR lasers. I know I can order online but just wanted to get hands on and buy same day if prices are good.

With a non resident permit from New Hampshire you can carry a handgun in Georgia at 18 in public,

{ Anywhere where someone who's eligible for a Georgia carry license or who has one - Lawful Weapon Carrier

You can obtain a handgun through gifts from family / friends or buy one through a private sale { neighborhood joe }

I've posted this { once, this being the 2nd time }, just trying to get the info out there and if you have any questions, will free to ask them.
