Wonder if Bass Pro, Academy Sports, and Wally World will follow suit?
As soon as their gun sales dip, they’ll be right back on the shelves. They can only whore themselves to the left for so long when it’s the right that has all the money.
I was planning on buying a $300 single shot pellet rifle from Dicks this week, but now I’ll just drive the extra 2 miles to Gander Mountain.
etc, etc, etc.
Interesting how I was just this minute looking at the Dicks Holiday (Christmas) Catolog and in the back are assault rifles. I’ll be tearing thins up.
Dick’s purhchased Galyan’s in 2004 which was a shame. Galyan’s had a large store in Overland Park which had a huge selection of firearms, hunting gear and ammo. Dick’s wiped most of that out and replaced it with endless yuppie, fashion chic sporting wear.
Dick’s has always been a joke in their firearms and hunting areas so it’s no great loss. Having said that, I will not support this politically correct joke of a sporting goods store.
Look, Dick’s is a sporting good store that you can tell really hates having a gun department in the first place. They don’t have handguns, and hardly try to sell the long rifles they have. The only good deal I have ever seen there is for small camping tents.
HEY DICK’S......IT’S NOT YOUR WEAPONS THAT’S THE PROBLEM, IT’S THE NUTS WHO USE THEM!!!!!
If you’re willing to lose business, it’s your funeral.
A crazy guy intent on killing will get any kind of weapon from any one of thousands of places to carry out his insanity. No law will stop it.
I don't buy guns from them, anyway. I use the Internet and always transfer through my local store, so they get the transfer fee.
I have avoided Dick’s every since I tried to go to their website. Beware - it is NOT dicks.com! I got some strange looks from my wife when the website popped up.
Dicks. That’s appropriate.
I guess the management of Dick’s DIDN’T READ that the sale of firearms in Colorado, one day after the Newtown shooting, broke all records.
There is still a sizable portion of the American populous that ‘gets it’
Hates Dicks .
Staff is rude and morons .
Never go there !
Shop Cabela’s folks !
The Dick’s near me in MD stopped carrying guns and ammo last year. Sounds like the latest events have accelerated existing store policy.
EVERYTHING at Dicks is less expensive elsewhere.
This is just Dick’s trying to gain PR, suits with political agendas, or some other NON-sporting goods issue.
Also FOX and ALL the reporters are complete mental rejects when it comes to reporting correctly.
ah, Except the shooter didn’t use a rifle.
They had one h3ll of a sale on AR-15’s a couple of weeks ago. $700 complete. There was a line of people buying them when I went in to look. They are probably sold out now.
Maybe the weapon used in CT was bought at Dick’s??
Perhaps they should stop selling “semi-automatic” weapons, and only allow weapons that fire a single bullet, each time you pull the trigger.
