Hmm. I don't really have that many good shop names without knowing what state you're in. But here is some advice:
Have a well stocked gun counter, long guns on racks behind, pistols in glass case. Have plenty of every type of gun, and plenty of ammo, including speciality brands and calibers. (Buffalo Bore and .32 S&WL, for instance)
Have a big, well stocked knife counter. All of the biggest brands. Try and keep your prices comparable to, say, Knifecenter.com's prices.
Have real Army surplus. Doesn't matter what army, but milsurp, not "military like" stuff.
Have some outdoor gear and clothing.
Put up some movie posters: Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, James Bond, various war movies, etc.
Have some stuff for the kids. Rubber band guns (you know, the newfangled ones with the plastic cogs) high quality cap guns (Paris makes the best) maybe some action figures, and some toy knives (wood are better than plastic, and you can make them yourself.) A big fishtank never hurts either.
Have an area to sit down, with a few couches and free coffee and soft drinks, like at a car dealership. A big TV tuned to football or a hunting video wouldn't hurt either. Neither would an arcade game: it would also help keep the kids occupied, and brong in some money.
Decorate. Most gun stores I've been in have concrete floors and walls void of any decoration. Paint the floors, at the very least, or better yet, put down the wood-like plastic stuff.
Have a dog. A nice, friendly, cute dog, leashed to the counter, that people can pet.

I guess it would be safe to say near Atlanta... I was looking at DFW, but there didn't seem to be any spaces available that made sense financially.
I should be finalizing the lease this week, once that is done I will make the announcement.

I like the name Liberty's Teeth. You could include the quote:"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."
George Washington--on your business card. Its memorable I think.

Southern Comfort
Sometimes my mind keeps working on a problem long after I give up. I read your OP days ago and this just popped into my head this morning. You're in the South, and you want to give people the feeling that it's a great comfortable place to hang out and buy guns. Not to mention the comfort we all feel with our trusty 2A friend within reach.
If it was mine I'd call it:
"Southern Comfort" - Your place for Guns Ammo and Gear.
And BTW: +1 for a book shop and walk-in humidor

Ah, the picking of a business name. The memories. Good luck. It's harder than people think.

The Gun Store
I'm going to The Gun Store.
I got this at The Gun Store.
The Gun Store carries those.
The Gun Store can order that for you.
I'm going to buy my next gun from The Gun Store
I'm almost out of ammo, guess I'll stop at The Gun Store on the way home from work.

I didn't read through all 6 pages, but "Bullseye" has been done. Located in Lawrenceville, GA, just off the square. If you want to go where they think their **** don't stink. It's the place for you. Went once, nice selection, but they're very proud. And they show it in their prices, and absolutely no hagaling on the price. Too bad for them, I'll never go back.
