Anyone have much experience in the Baton Rouge area shopping for firearms at pawn shops? Any shops y'all would recommend or stay away from?

Looking to pick up an inexpensive snub nose revolver for a truck gun. Not looking for a safe queen by any means, just a shooter. Figured I might be able to find a good deal on a used piece (sub $300).

I hate to say it but the Internet has just about ruined the chances of getting a super "deal" on just about anything at a pawn shop. People pawning/selling generally know about what something is worth and the people at the shop can google/GunBroker and know market selling price in 30 seconds. The ultimate effect is probably overall good. It is easier to know what to pay. But the chances of finding a smoking deal on something is rare indeed.
