      There is also Uncle Ed's that I go to which is like right across the street.

      Do you know where Santa Lucia Bank is in Atown? If your facing the entrance to the bank, Atascadero Arms will be across the street on your left in this little two story building. Uncle Ed's will be behind you and to the right, across the El Camino inside a shopping center with a bakery and a tanning saloon (I think thats what it is).

      Both are nice stores, and they both have very friendly staff. If neither one has what your looking for, they're both more then happy to order it for you. I will say this about Uncle Ed's though, I was curious about getting an AK over the summer (Got a SKS instead tho :P), and if your not into building them yourself, they will order it for you, then install the BB, and turn the mags into 10/30 for a reasonable rate.

        It is probably Atascadero Arms, they seem to be the most helpful.

            I've been to Atascadero Arms before, it's kind of hard to find, but the guy behind the counter was very nice, and seemed to know his stuff. It was an older guy, i forgot his name, but he was very personable and answered all the questions I asked.

                Heres the thing, my sister lives in Templeton which is the neighboring town. She lives out in the country off of the 41 out near Creston. She recently went through a divorce and has a restraining order on my brother in law since he was abusive. When I go down for the holidays I want to take he to a nice store to look for a pistol for personal protection and at least pick up some pepper spray to leave in her purse. My brother in law has followed her a few times but has stayed beyond the order distance so all the police could do is file a report. I feel for her safety and want to get he enrolled in a SD course as well.

                  ^Sorry to hear that.

                  Ive been to Atascadero Arms about half a dozen times while heading out to the Central Coast for a weekend get away.

                  Great place with even better people. Its a little hard to find but its worth it once you do find it. For as small a place it is the walls are covered in guns LOL. Ive bought everything except a complete gun from them and their customer service is top notch. Plus they are very friendly with helping you find a safe place to shoot firearms for the out of towners. I even carry a business card of theirs in my wallet as a reminder to check em out when I am heading that way.

                    They have a new location. They recently moved to Morro Rd. location, almost same spot the other atascadero guns USED to be. Corner of Morro rd.(hwy 41) and Portola rd.

                        I was surprised Atascadero Arms moved. I just found that out last week.
                        Life is like having a map with precise directions and exact stops, you find out that your directions and stops change as you progress further down your original map.

                          +1 on Atascadero Arms. They are one of the few dealers that acknowledge the GSSF discounts on Glocks. Next nearest is San Jose , or Santa Maria. I will definitely do business with them again , when I get some more cashflow

                            I live a few blocks away, i shoot with the guys a uncle eds and know the group at A-town arms real well. They both about the same on prices and service. I have bought several guns from both of them. They are exactly the same accept for product. They carry different stuff. I like Uncle Eds bec i know them well, we shoot together all the time and I glady trust them with me guns... Its really a toss up if you just want to pick up a hand gun for her.

                            Im sorry to hear about the guy. I can help if you need advice...

                              If you are looking for a pistol, take her to Range Master in San Luis Obispo (they have pepper spray too). They have an onsite pistol range and rent a variety of pistols so you could try a few and see what she would be most comfortable with. They also have the largest selection of pistols on the central coast. They are helpful and I believe they could hook you up with a self defense class.



                              Good luck
