Default NAPA/Gun Store

I have posted several times about buying guns at the local NAPA parts place. I'll go in for a tractor part or some piece of hardware and leave with a P&R Model 19, or a pristine Model 36-1, or a five-screw M&P. Someone usually expresses surprise that NAPA carries firearms. Most don't, but mine do.



Looks like most any NAPA when you come in the front door.


But when you make a right turn . . . . . . .

That's Bill, one of my best friends and the "gun guy" at Barrows. He goes to church with me. He has been known to walk in on Sunday morning while the choir is singing and hand me a note like; "Model 10-5, 2" rb, box and papers. $329." Shameless.

Some Merkels and Grullas.


There are at least four Single Action Army Colts in this case with the Uberties and others. One I noticed this morning has about 90% engraving. There are also a couple of S&W Custom Shop, or whatever they call them, in the case.


Another wall . . . .


Handguns . . . . .

Default Ammo

They keep a little ammo on hand, too.





I watched the kid on the forklift unload five pallets of ammo and put it in the warehouse across the street. I don't know how much he had already offloaded, or how much more he offloaded after I left.


Oh, yeah, not unusual to see a Harley for sale at my NAPA.

Bo is still very much in charge. Bill has taken on more responsibility the last few years, and Bo's daughter, Mindy, who is a highly capable young lady, now plays a major role in the everyday operation. Bo's son, Johnny, runs the other store in Reynolds. They stopped doing the shows 15-20 years ago.

This store is located about 100 miles South of Atlanta in a little town named Butler, Georgia. The entire county has maybe 10,000 people, and Butler has about 2000. There are two traffic lights in the entire county, and they have been here only about five years.

The guns you can see on display are probably less than half of what Bo has in stock. He has a climate controlled vault, probably 12' X 20' for handguns and some of the higher end shotguns and rifles. There are stacks and stacks of the more common "dove shoot" Benelli and Beretta semi-autos, and a bunch of o/u of those brands as well as Rugers in the back. People from all over Georgia (probably the Southeast) shop here. I have watched small business owners walk out with 10 Benelli semi-auto shotguns for Christmas bonuses for employees. A helicopter owned by some big-shot from Atlanta used to land in the lot behind the store. I think the local PD got him to start radioing ahead and land at the airport, where Bo will send someone to pick him up. I have seen US Senator Saxby Chambliss, former Governor Roy Barnes, and former United States Atty General Griffin Bell in the store. Bo told me he told Jimmy Carter he would rather he would stay away. Jimmah wanted to buy a half box of .22 long rifles! Bo said the Secret Service guys got in everybody's way.

We are one of the prime deer counties in the state, so I don't even try to go there on weekends during deer and turkey season. Starting about now, the place is packed wall to wall with people starting about dinner time on Friday. (Dinner time in Georgia means high noon) Probably a dozen times over the last twenty years, I have hung around watching somebody trade a gun I want, then jump on it after they leave. Just about every male in the county has a charge account there. The wife of one of my teacher friends called Bo and told him he could sell her husband more guns on credit if he wanted to, but she paid the bills, and she wasn't paying for any more guns. My wife hasn't gone quite that far. Yet. Bill says any man in Taylor County who doesn't owe at least $1000 on his account is subject to having his sexual proclivities questioned.

Looks like a road trip is in the works. Butler looks to be about 30 minutes east of Columbus. And I'm only an hour and a half from Columbus. I'm in.

As the irascible Dogbert of the "Dilbert" comic strip once said, "I envision a drive-through where you can obtain alcohol, tobacco, and firearms all at the same time and use them all before you get home !"

I had the pleasure of dealing with Bo many years ago, I've never forgotten him or his family or store, He is one of the finest persons I've ever met or known. Just for fun, ask him if he has a certain gun in stock, (any gun, any model) he will answer with how many, new or used, condition and price! Amazing memory and recall and just an all around good guy.

Man! Next time we go down to Thomaston to change out the flowers at the cemetery, I think we're just gonna have to ride on down US 19 another 25 miles or so and pay homage to that store. I've been wanting to get back down to take more photos of the Auchumpkee Creek covered bridge which appears to be almost halfway between Thomaston and Butler so that will give me even more of an excuse.
Let's see:
Stop at Piggy Park Barbeque in Thomaston
Photograph covered bridge
Visit NAPA parts house/gun store in Butler.

Sounds like a good days outing to me.

A town near me has a convenience store that sells alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Also ammo, gun magazines, fishing gear, snacks and Pepto Bismol.

A full service place for sure. The owner has brought a few guns to the U.P. from other places for me. Including the one I have in my vest
pocket as I type this.

Gosh, I try to be proud of Alaska, but we don't have a NAPA like that here. That rivals some of our better gun stores for sure.

There are some really great places in this country. I've visited gun-liquor stores in Nevada and Oregon and a gun-grocery in Texas. No telling what unusual combinations are as yet undiscovered.

Talking You Can't Beat Husseys!

Where else can you go to get groceries, bridal apparel, farm supplies, a new sawzall, fishing tackle, furniture, a new pair of Oxfords to go with your coveralls, fill up the truck, tag your deer and grab a piping hot Pepperoni Pizza to go!

"How much you want to spend sir? We have all kind of ho's here."

Another time a woman walks in the front door and declares "I need some caulk". Nobody said a word.

Sorry for the thread bump. I am making thr 2 hour drive to Barrow's tomorrow as he is the only person in the state I could find that had a Browning X-Bolt Medallion in .308 in stock. Funny part was they held it for me for a week till I could get down there. I can't wait!!!

My cousin and I plan a pilgrimage down there one day to look around. They are certainly more diverse than the NAPA's I know of.

Dick, there is a certain little " gun store " half way between Vero Beach and Sebastian on U.S. 1, that will sell you Hornady 44 Special ammo for almost DOUBLE suggested retail.

If that isn't enough the same uh person tried to tell me that the " short barrel ammo " was perfect to use in my 6 1/2 " PC 44 magnum. Even the folks at Hornady said that they were glad I had the inteligence to not do that when I called them.

A gun store that you can love to hate.

There used to be a gun and scuba store in S. Houston. Probably ended up closing because guns don't work very well underwater.
