Sheriff's spokesman Major Tony Wooten said it happened at Dawsonville Gun and Pawn on Highway 53. The store is near Stephens Road.
"One employee had attempted to try to break down a gun that was brought in by a customer, during that time, the gun went off and struck another employee in the leg," Wooten said.
Wooten said the firearm was a 9mm Ruger semi-automatic handgun. He said the woman's injuries appeared non life-threatening. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
"Obviously involving a gunshot, our investigators are looking into the situation, but at this point it's believed to have been an accidental shooting.
Authorities got the call around 11:00 a.m., according to Wooten.
