And they imposed an age regulation on ammo, that was outside the law.

After their announcement of opposition to the Second Amendment I think there was a flurry of snowflakes buying a pair of shoes or T-shirts or such. It quickly dissipated as their enthusiasm is trivial and short lasting.

But the loss of real customers is permanent.

Where I live they were a glorified tennis shoe store selling jogging clothes, golf balls, and low end cheap shotguns, kinda like Walmart. So the best I can say to them going under is WGAF. For the untraveled that’s who gives a f???. Want a firearm go to some one that knows something. Want jogging shoes run over to Payless.

Dicks is a great place to buy a $80 Colin Kapernick Jersey.

Ammo? Not so much...

“It’ll be a happy day when there are no more Dick’s.”

Feminists agree.

I’ll visit them again.

After the store closes. I’ll pull into the empty parking lot for about 10 seconds and wave at the empty store.

Brilliant, Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Just brilliant.

I need to spend a few dollars in a sporting goods store this weekend. I will drive the mere 15 minutes out of my way to avoid “Dick’s”. Academy can get my money until such time as they act like a bunch of faggots, too. I’m sure that will be soon.

“They’ll regret it more and more, right up to liquidation”
_________________________________________

Hi, Figment-!

Most likely the people with regret will be employees who are without jobs because of liberals making the inane decision to no longer sell guns.

The people who made the decision to no longer sell guns are far too insulated to have any true regrets. So many of them have ‘golden parachutes,’ one way or the other. A pox upon them, I say......

I opined at the time that I didn’t doubt their sales had spiked, that it wasn’t “fake news”, but also said that it wouldn’t be sustained.

Leftists don’t have any staying power. They bought stuff at Dick’s to support the move, but once that initial purchase was done, they likely never went back. They did their SJW part.

But Conservatives remember. Even longtime customers, even “faithful” customers who were conservatives resolved to never go back, and didn’t. In summary, they gained a few short term customers, and lost far more long term customers.

I have had my money in Bank of America or banks acquired by them for over 40 years. When Bank of America said it was going to stop providing financing to gun manufacturers, that was it for me. I have passed a lot of money through their hands, but no longer. I wrote a letter to the CEO of Bank of America, and my wife and I have been laying the groundwork since April to leave them behind. We had a lot of loose ends, but just completed our direct deposit change to our new bank this month, and plan to have everything moved out in another month or two.

My wife does not feel as strongly about this as I do, but...she saw how important it was to me. I sent the letter, not an abusive one, but a well written and thought out one asking them to reconsider, and I got a form letter back talking about how important it was to address gun violence. I made the decision to leave then. They have since continued business as usual without any comment, and lent money to the now bankrupt Remington, but for me, it is too late.

This was not a minor move. We had a lot invested in that bank. But no more.

Bunch of SJW weenies, they can go pound sand. They join Ben and Jerry’s, JC Penney, Target, General Mills, Coca Cola, Dicks, and a number of other companies who won’t get a cent from me.

I am not into mandating boycotts, I believe people need to make those decisions on their own, and that is their choice...it is none of my business...I won’t judge others on their choice. But I make choices where I can control them.

Bank of America probably won’t miss my money, they are that big. But I sure won’t miss them.

I do not regret my decision to never again shop at Prick’s.

Dicks is one of the worst run retail businesses in the country. They are literally inept at running anything retail.
