Dicks to stop selling all guns at 125 stores.

[edporch]

Makes no difference to me.
When I saw some years ago how much they sucked compared to the Galyans store they replaced at Castleton, I took them off my list of places to shop.

Their name says it all!

My mother gave me a gift card to Dick's some time back. After their last anti-gun move, I think it was after the Las Vegas shooting, I went to Dick's, used the gift card, and have not returned since, and don't plan to return again.

I suspect that their decision to drop guns may have a lot to do with the fact that people who buy guns quit shopping there, so they're not selling any guns anymore. Maybe they could sell books instead, perhaps "How to Cut Your Own Throat in the Retail World".

That book's already out there. I swear it seems to be the bible lately.
Companies become successful, then newcomers move in to "make more profit" and they run a company into the ground.
They get their "golden parachutes" then move onto the next company to ruin.

I miss Sportsman's Warehouse in Lafayette and especially the real Galyan's in Plainfield.

And when you consider that the vast majority of people who work at these places are just everyday folks trying to earn a living for their families, and for many of them part of their workplace choice / selection process when they first signed up probably had something to do with their love of sport, love of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and for many of them that includes guns, then the whole corporate greed and mismanagement issue is much more than that, it is a lack of responsibility toward all of those employees and their families, a betrayal of trust. I hope these folks find a better organization to work for, hopefully it works out for the best for them. But sadly for many of them it will not work out that way, they will be the ones taking the biggest hit.

Don't care one way or the other. I don't buy my sporting goods at gun stores, and I don't buy guns at sporting goods stores.

 

[Winamac]

Haven't been to their stores in years.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The only reason I have been to Dick's is they usually have a decent selection of kayaks. They are also on sale often.

Full up on kayaks.

Bye bye..............

I saw the Dicks report on line a few days ago. They pulled hand guns long ago or maybe never carries them. I looked for rifle scope a few years ago and there supply was limited. THe guy in the department told me then they were moving away from guns. There ammo prices were average. They are next to join gun hater liberals.

Whatever. Dicks.

Not next, they have declared war. Dick's is on record as paying anti 2A lobbyist.

I'm not normally all for boycotts, etc, but DSG has clearly shown they are not just changing their products sold, but that they are actively supporting anti 2A causes, and efforts.

Dick's Sporting Goods can go suck themselves.....I'll never buy ANYTHING from them or any of the sister brands ever. Not to mention the fact that when they did carry firearms, all they carried was Walmart type crap anyway.

I hear that's next to impossible......... unless you're real bendy.

Big box stores selling guns? I prefer local, so "meh."
Support you local gun shops, chain or mom's an pop's!

I gave up Dicks awhile ago...

DITTO .....

2019 will be their last year

 

[LCSOSgt11]

Well then, time to vote with our wallets again. I really never liked their stores, but when they went anti 2A, that sealed the deal for me.

I am not interested in Dicks.
