Protecting snowflakes from being traumatized by seeing those evil weapons.

[Sasparilla]

...Last time I was in a Wal*Mart, a couple months ago, they had Stoner pattern rifles in their gun case...

7.62X51?

[Rusty0604]

Now there’s an idea!

[Rusty0604]

Lol

[QualityMan]

thanks for the advice.

:)

[NorthMountain]

All were 5.56 ...

[Envisioning]

Cowards. I don't know why anyone, unless they are desperate, would buy ammo or firearms from Academy anyway. Way over priced! I sure wouldn't buy in bulk.

If you do buy there, compare Wal-Mart ammo prices first...you will see the difference.

[willyd]

Second that... not willing to step foot in an Academy if this is the policy. Are you listening Cabela’s? Gander Mountain?

[servo1969]

Well, THAT will make a difference.

Jackasses.

[patriotsoul]

Is this only in Houston? There are thousands of resettled refugees there. If not more

[Blue Jays]

"...If I’m going to buy from a dealer I prefer the smaller, mom and pop, gun stores to the big sports outlets like Gander Mountain, Cabelas, etc...."

Was seeking to purchase a red dot scope (prior to it being lost in the boating accident) years ago. I specifically sought an Aimpoint device. Was at a Cabela's and they got their "optics guru" who said he was in the firearms optics business for more than twenty years. He said he "had never heard of this Aimpoint company" that I had requested!

Unreal. You work at Cabela's. You are in the firearms section. You specialize in optics...yet have miraculously never heard of the company "Aimpoint" in the course of your career? That visit convinced me they know FAR LESS than they let on about products. I have always been inclined to stick with a smaller and more specialized retailer, yet that was icing on the cake.

[Rusty0604]

I think it is in all their stores. There’s also lots of refugees in Dallas, Amarillo, San Antonio. But that’s not their reason. It’s to protect snowflakes.

[MamaDearest]

A former “greeter” at one of their stores told us they do a lucrative job with illegal aliens. If they are so “respectful” of some, why aren’t they equally respectful of citizen? First clue is when their customers don’t speak a single word of English.

[simpson96]

Ditto. Boycott time.

[exit82]

Madness.

[wku man]

"Here we go again."

Because we didn't do anything last time.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[circlecity]

And I believe Aimpoint is the largest seller of red dot optics in the world, isn’t it? Imagine if you’d brought up one of those obscure optics companies like Leuopold, Vortex or Nikon.

Academy has a lot of suburban locations. This has snowflake corportism written all over it. I’m sure all it took was one call from a “gun violence” group to Academy corporate HQ to cause them to fill their pants.

[pierrem15]

What's their email address?

My wife and I are going to buy some sporting clothing-- I want to let them know I won't be shopping there.

"I went to Sports Auth years back in Ct to buy amo.They wanted my DRV license.I walked out never went back and would do the same at this place"

My BIL from their tells me it is such a socialist kibbutz that you need an ammo license, just like the People Socialist Republik of Taxachuetts had in the 80's. That is their version of Amerika...
