I can tell you this. Since they have stop selling black guns I have never seen a customer in their firearms department when I walk through the store. It was always busy before. I use to buy shoes and sports cloths there but now I only go in there to try on shoes and cloths and then order them from online at a better price.

Now Dick's knows what price is for dicking around with those who support the Second Amendment. Glad to see that their sales have gone flaccid.

No doubt. I have found their stuff way overpriced as well. I was never real taken with their staff, either.

TJ Maxx is kind of a crapshoot for me, but there’s always Amazon.

I haven't bought anything from them since they stopped selling "black guns."

Most of my friends refuse to shop there too.

A few weeks ago a buddy and I walked through out of boredom. As we were leaving an employee asked us if we had found what we were looking for. I responded "of course not. You stopped selling ARs, which is why I won't buy anything else from you either." "That makes two of us," was my buddy's remark.

you know, this is one of those things I CAN help out and make a difference. I have 3 kids in sports. I used to like the store because they carry the higher end equ and I could generally find whatever we needed. After the firearm fiasco, I became a loyal customer of Play it Again sports. I’m finding out they even have some nice used stuff. It’s still a bit overpriced, but not like Dicks... and they have a ton of new stuff as well. This year alone I’d say we have cost dicks in the neighborhood of 1500 bucks so far... buckets of baseballs, helmets, gloves, cleats every 3 months.. the list is never-ending. dick’s can burn, I haven’t been there since that story broke and I’ll never step foot in there again.

We have a Dick’s conveniently located nearby. I used to frequently buy ammo, other sporting goods, and even a couple of firearms from them (even though they would not carry handguns). I haven’t been in the store since their stupid decision regarding modern sporting rifles and will not ever go in the store in the future. I stll have Academy, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s and Cheaper Than Dirt in the area to take my money.

Let me guess, Dick’s figures pressure cookers cause crime too and won’t sell them.

What is a “black gun”? Just black colored or does it mean something else?

ARs are usually finished* in black, while "sporter" rifles and shotguns have usually been furnished* in wood. There is now a considerable portion of "sporter" rifles and shotguns being done in black, and ARs in color, but the nickname usually refers to the AR platform in all its variety.

Another FRiend calls them "EBRs" (evil black rifles) and his local merchant as the "EBR store". He also builds and accessorizes them for fun.

*not a typo.

I wish Cabela’s would come to the South, or at least my part of it. Bass Pro is just OK for bulk ammo and sport utility rifles and accessories.

The Dick’s around here used to be a chain called Galyan’s, which I liked quite well. I largely quit going after they were acquired by Dick’s, and this action by Dick’s just puts the nail in the coffin. No reason to go into that store again.

Galyan's

Here, too. Nice mall location.

The Cabela's opened about a month ago a mile away. I think it's going to put Dick's out of bidness. I hope it doesn't drag the mall down with it.

WE quit Dick’s about 5 years ago when they tried a bait and switch on us with shotgun shells.
