To me, Dick's has always been an overpriced purveyor of mostly "fashionable sporting attire", with way too much golfing stuff and Lycra clothing, and a very poor selection of firearms and ammo. I really don't care.

Their solution to losing $150 million is to now stop selling any hunting rifles, or gear. Who's the Dick(s) that put the Dick in charge of making decisions at Dick's? They seem to have a death wish, and can't think of enough ridiculous things to do to put themselves out of business!

I heard they are replacing their guns with tofu and coloring books to draw in college snowflakes. :D --6

As a spin to this thread, can you imagine what the snowflakes are gonna do when Donald wins another 4?

The one and only time I went into one I felt a weird and creepy yuppie liberal vibe. It was not at all like the atmosphere of a cabelas, bass pro, or academy sports.

Yep.

Obscene markup on cheap, imported clothing.

I'm of the opinion that looking around at Dick's probably makes you gay.

:o
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Proud to be able to say that they have never gotten a single cent from me. We got one nearby a few years ago. The prices were horrible they did not have much to begin with in the Hunting/Shooting dept. Once they took their stand I made extra sure to try and persuade any friends and relatives of mine to go elsewhere.

I did buy a Mossberg 12 gauge that came with a rifled slug barrel as well as the regular smooth bore from Dick's about 15 years ago. It was a Black Friday sale and still the cheapest I have ever seen for Mossberg shotguns. I have purchased ammunition on sale from them. They have actually not made any profit off of me.

They paid me to buy a fishing pole/reel combo years ago. One of those Black Friday sales where the outfit was very cheap, and a rebate was $5 more than the sale price. So I got paid $5 to buy it. Only problem was a limit of one rebate. Only time I've ever been in a Dick's Store.
