I would recommend finding a gun store/pawn shop where you can get to know the owners and the men/women who work the counters. Once you are known to them and they to you and you are comfortable with the staff, use them all the time. I have all of my out of state gun purchases shipped to the same small gun store and have had no problems whatsoever. They treat me like they want my business, even though I haven't purchased any new firearms from them.
