“I was passing through the friendly Southwest Georgia City of Donalsonville about one and a half years ago, as I had for the past few weeks been searching for some ammo, as this was when it was hard to find, and when it could be found at gun stores, they would usually have a limit of one box per customer per day. So I stopped in a business a friend owned, asked him if he knew of any place, and he referred me to a small business in the City of Jakin, GA, which was just a few miles west on US Highway 84 going towards Alabama, called Cannon Armory. He said it would be on the right in a steel building, as South Pearl Street would cross 84, and I would ask for the owner, Casey. So I drove there, as it took about ten minutes. I walked inside, as he had his shelves full, then I asked what his limits were as far as purchasing. He told me, his prices were a little higher for ammo, but he had no limits, but what he had today may not be there tomorrow. He also said, he received ammo shipments almost every day, but had no idea what may come in. I purchased a few boxes from Casey, and have since returned to purchase a few more, as Casey and his wife are really down to earth, friendly people. Most of the time their store only has a few customers inside, so if you should have questions or need to talk about something specific, I am sure Casey would be happy to help you.”

Dallas-based Corinth Properties will build a mixed-use project with restaurants and an event plaza on the other 14.
