They have a scorpion in there for $1200 and I’d pay $1000 tomorrow but I don’t know if they take offers and really and truly that 1 single mag and a no name red dot don’t drive the price up for me. Thanks!

This isn’t a for sale post. And I’m not soliciting any sales. Just moved here. Looking to unload 12-30 single stack and double stack 1911’s. Everything from a factory modern Springfield Armory or Colt to a Nighthawk. Trolling local gun stores in Fannin and Union county, I don’t see a lot of foot traffic and I don’t see a lot of 1911’s in general. Not throwing shade, just a lot of polymer stuff. Don’t want to deal with ATL traffic. Don’t want to deal with online BS or shipping this many.

Anyone ya like? Thanks!

GA Code § 16-11-121 (2024):

• (4) "Sawed-off rifle" means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder; and designed or redesigned, made or remade, to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifle bore for each single pull of the trigger; and which has a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length or has an overall length of less than 26 inches.
• (5) "Sawed-off shotgun" means a shotgun or any weapon made from a shotgun whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise having one or more barrels less than 18 inches in length or if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches.
• (7) "Silencer" means any device for silencing or diminishing the report of any portable weapon such as a rifle, carbine, pistol, revolver, machine gun, shotgun, fowling piece, or other device from which a shot, bullet, or projectile may be discharged by an explosive.

GA Code § 16-11-122 (2024):

• No person shall have in his possession any sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon, or silencer except as provided in Code Section 16-11-124.

GA Code § 16-11-124 (2024):

• (4) Possession of a sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon, or silencer by a person who is authorized to possess the same because he has registered the sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon, or silencer in accordance with the dictates of the National Firearms Act, 68A Stat. 725 (26 U.S.C. Sections 5841-5862)

So, in GA at least, even though you can be a member of GOA and purchase silencers/arms from PSA in Savannah, since the wording of Georgia's State Law has the word registered in it, we have to wait until the wording is amended?

Can others help shine some light on this for clarification?

Has anyone spoken to the local stores around Atlanta regarding plans for NFA related sales given the recent SilencerShop/GOA vs ATF ruling in Texas? My understanding is if the DOJ does not appeal by today, 8/12/26, then the ruling is applied nationwide.

Would love to pick up a suppressor or two and I have a gun trust if needed, but am curious to hear what the local shops around Atlanta are planning. I reached out to Pro2A, Stoddards, and Adventure Outdoors. Waiting to hear back.

EDIT:

I have not heard back from the specific stores I contacted but PSA put out a pretty clear guidance that I assume will extend to all plaintiffs covered in the lawsuit. Suppressors (not SBR or SBS yet) sold by PSA or dealer network (when sourced directly from PSA) are covered via form 4473 for in store transactions. They will start rolling out an online process imminently.

As of today, 8/13/26, GA is still form 4 because of specific legislation pointed out by u/fcman256: https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/title-16/chapter-11/article-4/part-2/section-16-11-124/

SilencerShop made a resource to show which states are still Form 4 and which are 4473: https://www.silencershop.com/where-are-silencers-legal

Gov. Kemp could theoretically spend some political capitol to call a special session of Congress and append those rules if he thinks there is support.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice

I was looking to pick up an affordable handgun and rifle . Was curious what they had.

But also heard the gun shows just sell everything at msrp so they are a waste of time

There is one in canton this weekend. Thinking of going .

Are these a waste of time ?

Do firearms and other weapons like knives have to be secured in a glovebox or some form of a lockbox, in a vehicle on public college campus? It seems redundant since carrying a concealed pistol is allowed. I keep knifes and sometimes other firearms in my vehicle at times. However I'd like to stay on the legal side of things.

*I'm a lawful weapon carrier, I just don't have a GA CCW.

Just moved here. I shot a lot when I was younger. Took almost a decade off. Just getting back into the swing of things. They’re not like they used to be. Dealing with some health issues. Hoping to find a skilled trainer/instructor who can assess and help get me back closer to where I was. I’m in Fannin county, so prefer Northern GA or TN, NC area. Would prefer to avoid Atlanta. Thanks!

Sorry, realized I’m probably missing important details. Pistols. Target practicing. Not looking to compete, though maybe a bowling pin or steel challenge could be fun.

Used to be able to put 14 on paper and have them all touch. Now I group like a 12 ga…

I was reading thru the Prohibited Places in GA, and it talks about nuclear power plants but also appears you can store in your car in a locked compartment or box. Does anyone have experience dealing with this?
