I thought of that. At this point, I'm chalking it up to--they slipped up but are now trying to redeem themselves.

I’ve got two young boys that play sports. My wife is very outdoorsy. We camp as a family, and I run, fish, and hunt.

Have not been into DSG since this happened, and in fact drive WELL out of my way to Academy Sports when I need something.

Probably *not* spent close to a grand already this year at DSG.

Just a sprinkle in their revenue ocean, but enough sprinkles makes a big drop and enough drops turns into pissed-off investors.

My only journey's into DSG was so the spouse could shop. She enjoys the cloth's. They are stupid expensive but she does not push for diamonds/gold etc. so the spring and fall shopping there is OK when I look in my gun safe and ammo lockers.

She has said no more since all of this. Our $600 or so a year is not much but in the end, add them all up and I really hope it hurts.

Rather ironic that a sporting goods store would lobby against sports. What's next? McDonald's lobbying against fatty foods?

Hell they DESTROYED all their AR's rather then sell them or send them back. Heck years ago I bought both guns and ammo from them.

^^^I thought of that too, but I agree with GFGT^^^

SA is taking positive actions, rather than just words, so that goes a ways.

"The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF®) Board of Governors unanimously voted to expel Dick’s Sporting Goods from their organization."

This seems like a pretty big deal to me. I'm proud of the NSSF

Looks like its the NORTH VS SOUTH all over again but instead of slavery its guns this time around.

No, Training is and always has been.

As for lobbying, it is a necessary evil.

Yes it is. Knee jerk on my 1st post

I bought a Field and Stream safe from Dicks right before all of this started. Really wish I would have bought it somewhere else now.

Turns out we the people, operating legally and within our constitutional right to bear arms, do not appreciate our rights being infringed upon. Glad to see that the virtue signaling by Dick's Sporting Goods earlier this year is working out for them:
