I have been to Larrys many, many times as I am in Alabama and in Huntsville on a regular basis. Its a cool store, with a huge inventory for whatever you are looking for. They have a range attached to the store which is a nice plus. Their selection of used guns, especially rifles is huge. I have never bought anything from Larry's, although their prices are pretty much in line with what I see in my shops in Birmingham. I wouldn't say they are the cheapest, more like a middle of the pack store.
Biggest issue with Larry's is the people working there. They are at the point where they have enough business so they don't have to be overly friendly or helpful. Its very hard to get anyone to talk to you or show you something in the case. Most of the time it is 3 people deep around the display cases. If you know what you want, Larrys probably has it and I would feel ok buying it there. But don't expect to get much in opinions or questions answered if you are unsure of a purchase.
Wow. That is too familiar.
The biggest gunshop in Charlotte, Hyatt's Gun Shop, has been around since the early sixties.
They have good inventory but the lame sales staff that work there are just godawful. Personalities like barbed wire.
And there are about 30 of them. Sour ex leo types. I don't understand their attitudes; they draw a pension but resent working on the gun counter.
If you don't want to sell, and help folks with firearms –– do something else.
My wife and I recently heard one of the "counter guys" rack a shotgun and tell the potential customer that,( f*ck I hate to say this cliche,) "Yep, just the sound of this in the middle of the night..."
Prices higher than the fur on a cat's back. For example check this out.

Luckily, there are lots of other gun dealers around.
