What I'm gathering from this thread is a lot of people have never set foot in a Dick's. Hard to miss the gun section.

Good to see companies stepping up to do what are inept, corrupt government won't. Dick's just earned all of my sporting goods business :-).


Maybe you've never set foot in Dick's? That has to be the most expensive sporting goods store I've ever seen.


I was all over dicks just last night. Might even go back for me tonight.

Seriously though, I have been to the local one a few times. Now I'm in North GA so the dicks guns may be larger here than elsewhere. Part about giving them my business was completely in jest.
I'm just saying that I know a lot of people that like to go looking around at Dick's because they can't afford to do more.

This was in Minnesota where we apparently have a lot of Dicks, I prefer the bigger ones. The little ones are more apparel focused.

To be honest, it never occured to me to purchase a gun while looking around at Dick's so I might not be the most knowledgeable person on that issue.

As a member of the NRA, Dicks never came to mind as a place buy a gun, let alone an AR-15 type weapon. Since they own Field and Stream stores does this affect that chain as well?

My friends on social media are already losing their shit over this one, comparing it to baking a cake. Yes, I have a lot of stupid friends.

Just for the record I've got nothing against Dick's CEO making this decision. There was no freedom limiting economic pressure campaign. The company can decide how it wants to sell (or not sell) guns.

There are a lot of Dicks in Minnesota, that is for certain.

Being from WI, you might know there are Dick's in Platteville (for groceries though). How about this marketing for their savings card?

I have to say, the topic does make for some great and totally irrelevant argument points on social media.

Walmart has also set an age limit of 21 for gun and ammunition purchases.

Chris seems like a pretty dim bulb. When you consider there are only four lines and one of them is only one word, the ratio of fuckwittery to content in that is huge.
