    Default Upstate Locations to buy Pistol

    I am currently living in Richmond, however VA's handgun laws do not allow an out of state resident to purchase a handgun in their wonderful, lovely state. That being said, I am from Spartanburg and go back a good bit. I'm in the market for a CZ and with this being my first handgun purchase I do not know where to get it/order it from. I'm open for ideas, as the only two outdoor stores I know of in the upstate are Academy and Grady's. If anyone would share any better options they have on where to actually buy this gun I would much appreciate it.

    I already have my mind made up on exactly what I want, so I don't need any pros/cons on the CZ firearm. Thanks y'all.

    Lawson Outfitters in Clinton has always been very easy to work with in the past.

    Lawson's ain't worth a shit. Never has anything. Plus the owner has the attitude that he is king shit.

    x2 on Traders. They seem like they know what they are talking about but don't have the arrogant attitude to go along with it. Very pleasant to deal with. They are willing to deal with you as well.

    Traders is ok, but IMHO the best place to buy in Greenville is Freedom Gun on White Horse rd.

    My wife went in there to buy me a christmas present and they were very helpful-they treat both shooters and non shooters great.

    If you can't buy one up there, can you even legally own one? I've heard that Vagina has some pretty fucked up gun laws so make sure you aren't setting yourself up for trouble later.

    Is Greer Gun & Pawn still open? Traders and there's a place in Greenwood that a buddy of mine deals with a good bit. I'd try to watch out for a private sale though, I just don't like the paperwork, especially on a handgun. People can say what they want, but you fill that shit out and it doesn't just disappear at the FBI.

    Why the CZ obsession? I had one with the Baby Eagle in college. It was a nice feeling gun, cycled like a dream and was absolutely one of the worst handguns I have ever owned. Terribly inaccurate.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    mailbox cleaned out Saltydog, sorry about that. I've done my research and shot a few of the models I was looking at, including glock and beretta, and the cz fits in my hand and shoots the best for me. i'm planning on this to be mainly a truck gun, so i'm not worried about size or getting a ccw permit at this point; and it's my understanding that this will be legal in VA.

    i'm trying t&k tomorrow hopefully and then on to trader's later in the week if they can't get it done. i appreciate the good responses fellas.

    i cant x2 enough. they are very knowledgeable, courteous and although the place doesnt win any beauty contests, they know their guns and prices are excellent for the upstate. They beat everybody in the upstate on the two pistols i have bought from there.

    Dewey's pawn shop also has some good prices and selection if you catch them right.

    I have bought pistols from both, but Freedom was my first stop.
