Just remember the CEO is exercising his rights too; no matter if you like it or not.
Do I agree with it; Hell no.... The other side of the discussion is the cake maker not making cakes for Homosexuals (because of his beliefs) and going to court for over a year because of it.

he should go all the way and stop selling all guns and ammo of course. that will be helpful to all the independent gun dealers sales.

It is the CEO/ Board of directors or Owners choice dude; get over it. Quit shopping there; When you own majority in the Company then make some rules. All the crying and moaning is doing nothing but, making more snowflakes out of the same people that were trash talking the other snowflakes.

mdram Wrote:actually he is right Because they are playing at the heart strings of the Liberals employing the same tactics the idiots in DC (both sides) do every election season. The Fact is, Dicks can stop selling big scary ARs every Tuesday or only on Saturdays at 6PM if they wanted to, it is their stores. Around here they pulled Guns out of Dicks in 2013 after Conn. shooting. They were busted via media for selling ARs under their sister brand Field and Stream as well after the first announcement. Seems they moved all ARs to the Field and Stream stores to download em; Ethics at it best.

Popeye212 Wrote:Still boycotting them from the last time they did it. Yes, and look how effective that was. Personally, I don't know why people would shop Dick's. Their prices generally sick. I could say that I am boycotting them, but I have been boycotting them since BEFORE they pulled this stunt previously...and that was because of how back their prices were. Showed up there a couple of years ago (not my choice) with the wife and kids looking for shoes for one of the kids and realized their prices had not improved on gun/hunting stuff. Their shoe prices weren't good either. So my 'boycott' is financial. Their profit ethics don't agree with my spending ethics.

Probably just PR so they can sell soccer balls and shuttlecocks to soyboys and soccer moms . I remember hearing on the radio that El Walmarto and Casa de Deposita were becoming gun free zones after Sandy Hook, but I've never seen a sign on the door that tells me not too. El Walmarto also said they weren't going to sell anything AR-15 related a couple of years ago. Mine has never sold guns, but after about a year of not carrying 223/556 ammo, the shelves have been full.

My garage has a better inventory of outdoor equipment then Dicks sporting goods department.
But on a side note if I'm 19 and state stature says it is legal for me to purchase a firearm, isn't it discrimination if they refuse to sell to me solely on age?

I walked into a dicks store about 15 years ago. Was shopping for fishing gear, but I wanted to check out their firearms. Firearm prices were consideraby higher than any other store I frequented in the Denver metro area. I left and did not look back. So I guess you can say I boycott dicks. The sandyhook tragedy did not help my opinion of dicks, along with an assortment of other businesses. The idea that the owner claims that dicks is a "staunch supporter of the 2A", is so far from reality!

Didn't seem like mdram, or wraith1516 (or anyone else for that matter) expressing his opinion was throwing a "hissy fit" here. I communicate frequently with companies who choose to take politically based decisions/actions and let them know how that is impacting their finances. It is well within their "rights" just as it is well within my rights to choose those with whom I do business. If companies refused to cave to the irrational demands of leftists, it wouldn't be necessary. However, ignoring leftist demands upon businesses will result in businesses caving more and more. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Do I advocate "irrational" arguments/demands?...nope. If you haven't figured it out we are in a cultural war with marxists...ignore at your own risk.
