I am in Atlanta for work this week. Where are the bad areas that I should avoid? I should be working in an area northeast of Norcross/Duluth.
Any good used gun shops? I am still looking for a Winchester Model 63. Thanks for the replies.

Steer clear of Norcross and most of Duluth, for starters.

Traffic isn't bad at all anywhere for the two months the crotch spawn are out of school.  Enjoy it now.  Stay away from anywhere downtown and public transportation.  Same as anywhere else, if you feel like you're in a rap video, time to relocate.  Gun stores are the same as any other free state.  Adventure outdoors on the west side is probably he biggest.  Might find something at bullseye in lawrenceville, it's in gwinnexico, near Norcross.

Franklins in Athens used to be the place for used guns. Haven't been there lately.

Stoddard's Guns was so nice, Mrs. O didn't bitch at the money I spent.

Eat at Mary Mac's Tea Room.

If you can get to the south side of town Autreys Armory is a good store, nice folks with a indoor range.

Adventure outdoors has more guns than I've ever seen in one place.  Its like the costco of guns and gear.

Stoddards is a great too.

The above are right.  Adventure outdoors likely has the gun you are looking for as they have so many old an new guns in stock.  However they may not have the price you want.

Its hard to know what you will find, but many of the local pawn shops are where some bargains can be found (or not) - but the time to hunt them all down may not be worth it in a short time.

Kamado Joe is based out of Duluth. Go pick up a discounted scratch and dent ceramic grill at their store.

Clyde Armory in Athens is worth the visit.  Be careful....very careful in Duluth as they are well known as being very creative for revenue generating.

I would not give AO any of my money.  Go to "Georgia Firing Line."  Also nearby is Tru-Prep and Discount Army Navy for non-gun related Redneckeries.

I used to be a cop in Atlanta. Stay away from west, southwest, south east Atlanta. Central Atlanta is fine during the day and east side is somewhat up and coming. North side into kennasaw areas is fairly wealthier and ok.

Worst is west side Donald lee hollowell pkwy which used to be Bankhead highway. Rumor was always that the city changed the road names to lower the crime statistics. Lot of drugs and gang activity in that area.

Statistically your odds of finding trouble are slim but this is just my recommendation.
