http://www.sentimentaltyme.com A local watch business run by Jim Sholders. He has lots of antique pocket watches and wrist watches. Jim also offers repair service. While his main business is in Burgaw, NC, he also has an indoor area at the NC State Fairgrounds Fleamarket on Blue Ridge Rd., Raleigh, NC. I encourage anyone interested in pocket watches to swing by and take a look at what he has to offer. It's neat to see so many NICE pocket watches at one place.

Local Stores and Gun Ranges
http://www.davisguns.com Davi's. 4900 Leigh Drive, Raleigh, NC. (919) 878-0787. Full gun shop. Has an indoor range. Seemed kind of pricey, but has a good selection. Great place to look, but I'd buy elsewhere and save some money.
http://www.pdhsc.com Personal Defense & Handgun Safety Center. 301 Tryon Road, Raleigh, NC. (919) 779-6880. Merchandise and has an indoor gun range.
http://www.younggunsinc.com Young Guns. 813 East Williams Street, Apex, NC. (919) 387-8393. Merchandise. Prices seem okay. One guy there is kind of grumpy. However, they have an anti-gun sign on their door: NO LOADED FIREARMS. Do they support concealed carry laws or not?! I'll generally buy small stuff in there like ammo or holsters, but I'll keep buying my firearms elsewhere until they start supporting our conceal carry rights.
Fuquay Jewelry & Pawn 513 Wake Chapel Rd, Fuquay Varina, NC (919) 552-4945. Mostly a gun shop. Decent prices on Kel-Tel. Ask for better deals on the used guns to get, well, a better deal. Then you'll get a price closer to the normal retail price. Seems like nice people.
http://www.perrysguns.com Perry's Gun Shop. 21 East Third St. Wendell, NC (919)365 4200
http://www.edsgunshop.com Ed's Gun Shop 5560 US Hwy 1, Vass, NC (910) 692-7936. Good selection and decent prices.
Big Sky Guns & Pawn 304 E Williams St, Apex, NC 919) 303-8555. Are these guys still in business?
Jim's Gun Shop 609 Woodland Rd, Raleigh, NC (919) 772-0995. Runs out of a small building behind a residential house. GREAT prices on new and used guns. Not much inventory, but he can order whatever you want.
http://www.lawmens.com Lawmens. 3319 Anvil Place, Raleigh, NC. (919) 779-6141, (800) 426-3486. They apparently cater to law enforcement, but civilians can buy from them too (though I think the law gets a discount). That said, a co-worker found they had the lowest price on the model of S&W semi-auto he wanted.

Okay, this website is so amazing that I had to create a special section for it. The site is called Why won't God heal amputees? What's amazing about it is how logical, intelligent, concise, and well organized it is. The author takes a methodical approach to questioning, then denouncing the existence of God. No matter what side of the religious fence you are on, this website is worth a look. Use it to bolster your atheist views, or use it to hone your skills at taking on the atheists for having the gall to say God doesn't exist. The author has even created a forum for believers to relate how God has worked in their life.
