How do I find a good safety instructor in Gwinnett County?

We are about half way between Gainesville and Lawrenceville and are looking for a good handgun safety instructor. We are new to guns and are probably best described as casual hobbyists.

How do we find an instructor and how do we evaluate and compare instructors?

Went to McCaysville Drug And Gun today

Ita exactly what you'd expect, I thought it was a cool novelty, they have merch sporting their name and a smaller selection of firearms and ammunition than a dedicated gun store. Picked up some ammo there before I headed to Panther Top Gun Range.

The sign outside the store reads as follows "Guns are welcome on premises, please keep all weapons holstered unless the need arises in such case judicious marksmanship is appreciated"

Any recommendations for AK parts local? N GA

Hello and I hope you can advise.

Long story short I am looking for AK hammer springs, and I wouldn't say no to a full spring kit, but shipping fees are obnoxious and too often I would need to use multiple different websites. Does anyone know of a North Georgia gun shop that would have these parts? Truprep doesn't have any and Adventure outdoors doesn't seem to stock small parts. I know because I am desperately searching for a Kalashnikov USA Magazine ramp,like the ones seen on Khaos 12Ga "firearms". If anyone knows a honey hole, let me know!

Looking for M14M 22”

I am looking for a civilian model M14 semi automatic. Suitable for a scope and shooting at range.

I love the history of it and the wood stock. A gorgeous weapon to go along with my Mosin Nagant.

I have not had luck yet with local stores/ranges around Atlanta. Anyone have any suggestions where I could find some options? I was hoping to see some locally for sale.

On a related note, anyone have experience with Fulton Armory?

Thanks.

Edit: Because the auto mod contacted me about gun sales, I am not talking about private sales. Just a recommended licensed and regulated store that might carry these in stock for a reasonable price. I looked at the inventory for several of the larger Atlanta area stores and can’t seem to locate one. I hope this clarifies my question and intention.

Noob Question - WMA Wilson Shoals or any WMA Shooting Range

Hi Folks!

Super noob questions...

I'm not new to shooting but am wondering about Wilson Shoals WMA and other WMA Shooting ranges as I've always wanted to go but never had the available time till now.

Plan is to shoot AR, various pistols, and a Mosin Nagant as well as introduce others to firearms in a safe environment.

I've heard that it's free but I think you need at least a fishing or hunting license... Is that true? If so, what's the cheapest resident license can I get?

Are all GA WMA location ns free (or with some type of cheap license?)

Wilson Shoals

  • What's everyone's experience with this place that'll help a noob out?
  • Is there a check in process?
  • Do I need to bring my own targets AND stands?
  • Steel cases ammo ok?
  • Cellphone reception there as I may need to hotspot and work for a minute or so

Any other WMA locations to recommend near Norcross or Gwinnett area?

Thanks for your help and time!

My Experience at Clybel WMA shooting range

Check in was simple just have a fishing license, hunting license or lands pass and they give you a orange card that had the expiration date of the range pass.

The range has three separate sections: shotgun, rifle and pistol.

The rifle range consists of bays from 25 yards up to 100 yards, the targets are electronic so your hits show up on a tablet that have on the bench, makes it easy to confirm your zero.

The pistol range consists of several bays and is right next to the rifle range and all the targets are steel plates rather than electronic targets. The steel targets are different colors that match your bay just to make sure you aren't shooting someone else's target. The range is shorter going out to 25 yards at the maximum.

I did not use the shotgun range as I do not own one.

I spent about two hours there and had a great time, definitely will come back.

Interest In A “Can I Carry?” Website?

Every time I go to an event, I try to plan ahead. My concern is never “what are the rules of the establishment?”, but “do they have metal detectors at the entrance?”. Leaving guns in the car is a no-go, and if they don’t search me they’ll never know I have it.

I’m considering hosting a website that dissects establishments and events in GA, charting the house rules and whether they search your pants.

If this already exists, I’d love to know! If not, I’d love to begin working on it. Looking for additional ideas as well.

Georgia lawmaker proposes $1 million liability insurance for assault weapon owners

I'd like to say this will never pass, but don't handguns have a much higher homicide rate then " Assault rifles "?. Which there trying to market as normal semi automatic AR / AK platforms. Like if your going to try to create gun laws, why not go after the real problems?.

ATLANTA — State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D-Decatur) is proposing a new law for Georgia gun owners for 2025 that would require them to have liability insurance to own assault-type weapons.

According to an announcement from Oliver’s office, the proposed legislation is aimed at addressing the risks of owning assault weapons by requiring gun owners to be financially responsible for the damages or injuries caused by their firearms.

“If an individual decides to purchase and own an assault-type weapon, Georgia law should require that they ensure the weapon for the damage it may cause,” Oliver said in a statement. “I want the insurance industry to help us define the risks and costs associated with assault weapon ownership and work toward prevention of misuse. This is a commonsense approach that encourages responsibility and accountability, and it has the potential to reduce violence and improve public safety.”

Under the legislative proposal, all owners of assault-type weapons in Georgia would have to obtain and maintain $1 million in liability insurance to cover the damages from misuse of firearms. The insurance would be designed to help pay victims in the event of an injury, death or property damage caused by assault weapons.

P.S - Mary kiss my fucking ass.

Sportsmans warehouse

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has experience with sportsmans warehouse. I ordered a glock online to be shipped to a local ffl. When I ordered, my card was charged for the purchase. The order just shipped to my ffl and upon looking at my account, it seems the charge was refunded to my account? I have not picked it up yet. Am I supposed to pay at the FFL? (Aside from transfer fee) Is sportsmans warehouse going to charge me upon pickup or at some other random time? Or did they mess us and give me a free glock?
