Do Gun shops in your areas carry air guns or air gun accessories as well? Pellets, bb's, co2, etc. Nothing so far here, almost everything for me is online.
Gun shops?

Even the Walmarts around here have very little except the cheapest air rifles. Occasionally co2 and sometimes pellets. Never any pistols.

Buy everything mostly on line gun shops have nothing, Wally World has only the very least expensive and lowest quality stuff. We have a Crosman service center that has a little but not much. Our best airgun dealer folded a couple/few of years back. 
Cabelas has a few airguns but not much of a variety .

Wait, I just remembered. Atascadero Big 5 has some PCPs sometimes. Usually Gauntlets and H&N ammo. They also seem to stock a lot of .20 ammo and I asked the employee if they ever sell any and he said never. I asked why they didn't stock more .25 and he said he didn't know why and asked if it was a popular calibre

One close to me carries some Airguns & accessories- They have some lower end stuff - Sig Sauer & Crosman / Benjamin & some Stoeger guns. Nothing top shelf but they have a good selection considering.

In El Cajon we have Big Five and a really better shop is a reloading gun shop who sells air guns (mostly Crosman) he won't sell anything Chinese. Has a very good selection of pellets but no filling tanks/compressors.

No, my area gun shops only sell firearms. If it wasn't for Baker Airguns, Pyramid Air, Airgun Depot, and Airguns of Arizona, I don't know what I'd do.

What's a "run" shop?
If you mean do the two gun shops near me have pellet guns or accessories ? No they don't.
I was in one today looking for a particular type of 1911, Government grip panel. Nuthin.

Try local fishing and hunting and camping stores like mom and pops type sometimes they under price airgun stuff by mistake for really dirt cheap just to get their basic margin unaware of what they actually sell for at major airgun retailers.

Every once in a while you'll find a selection of airguns at a gun shop. My experience has shown that those who deal in firearms usually price their airguns so high that they seem to remain a permanent fixture in the shops. Also, part of the reason one is apt not to see airguns among firearms is that most firearms enthusiasts see them as not much more than toys.I know this because I've been around firearms most of my adult life and many of my friends are shooters from way back, but despite my best efforts, I can't seem to get them interested in shooting airguns. And believe me, I've tried.

. No mom and pops around here, unfortunately, just the big guys. Even the large retailers have bare shelves where the air gun things used to be. So sad to see empty cases that never get restocked.
Only one guy shop around me, that I know of, carries anything and they're crazy expensive.

Nope. Talked to a local mom and pop store about adding air to his line (they have an indoor archery range that would work well for air also), but he said I was the first person in 20 years to ask about anything air. We had a great conversation, but the bottom line was there just was not enough interest in air and space was at a premium in his store. He did say I could shoot in the range as long as the guns were quiet. We had another shop that went belly up when our King,,,err Governor enacted the SAFE act. Too bad as this store did have a selection of air products but they could not make it with out the amazing business they did in AR style equipment (the guy had Everything you could want for AR platforms). I used to get all my reloading supplies there when I was still shooting PB. The third shop in my area really only deals in handguns and very high end rifles (not a single used rifle in the shop sells for under $1500). For me my local Walnut and Tractor Supply are usually pretty well stocked with cheap pellets, targets, spinners, cases, etc. I buy my guns, scopes, and accessories online.
