New York (CNN Business)Dick's Sporting Goods considered stopping all gun sales in early 2018. A shooting at the high school in Parkland, Florida, had killed 17 people. And the company was shocked into action.
"We did have a conversation about that," CEO Ed Stack told CNN Business earlier this year. "At the time we felt it was a part of our DNA and we should stay in it. So many people in the country are law-abiding citizens who use firearms to hunt, to use from a recreation standpoint. We didn't think it was right to exit the business completely."
That could be changing. Dick's, one of the country's biggest gun retailers, has been quietly testing the water on whether to pull out entirely from what it calls the "hunt" business, including firearms. An announcement with the results of the test is expected Thursday, when it is set to report quarterly results. America is again debating gun control after a recent wave of shootings — including one on August 3 at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas. The debate has drawn new scrutiny on the legal sale of guns.

Dick’s R Us: “Get Woke, Go Broke”
Their HQ is here in Pittsburgh.
I have had some business dealings with them.
And, believe me, they ABSOLUTELY live up to their name.
Is Dick’s still in business?
Who knew?!?
At this point, they might as well stop selling guns, because no self-respecting gun owner would be caught dead in the place.
I’ve been testing if I should avoid dicks sporting goods. Turns out I can buy golf and hunting equipment..... and my favorite team apparel......at other stores.
The Cabellas is right across the street from the Dicks I have not been in for years... Still trying to figure out how I can get a crossbow without incurring the wrath of Mrs. L,TOWM.
Bass Pro is a little more of a drive, but if I can’t find the ammo or weapon at the Cabelas, I can order it through the Gunmaster on Ave. K.
Dick’s, the last refuge of Yeti
Fixed it.
Tick-tock....Tick-tock......
Dicks can do whatever it wants. I won’t be shopping there. Thankfully I we have ACADEMY in Texas, where they still sell lots of hunting and sporting gear including boom sticks and freedom pills.
Anyone who shops there!
They should close down!!! Traitors.
Same way you did with your parents as a kid, before Christmas..............
I was done with them a year ago or more. They don’t want my business and I’m fine with watching them pay the price for their actions chasing away law abiding sportsmen.
I thought they already did.
Maybe they can exchange that section of store with a display of Gillette products.
NOT stopping in Dick’s to view their new line of men’s lace hunting panties.
They want to stop selling guns because most gun owners stopped going there after their stupid decision to back progressives——which, ironically, hate guns and sports!
I stopped shopping at Dicks a couple of years ago. I also found out the Golf Galaxy is owned by Dicks, so they’re off my shopping list as well. There are plenty of non-Dick vendors to choose from.
