...from selling guns in 125 stores
https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/dicks-to-remove-hunting-products-in-125-stores-amid-fallout-from-gun-ban Quote: Following a shooting in Florida in February 2018 that left 17 students and staff dead, Dick’s hiked the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21 and prohibited the sale of AR-15 style rifles. While Stack previously predicted it would bring in new customers, the decision has led to a decline in earnings in the firm’s hunting business. In the three months through Feb. 2, declines in the sector drove a 3.7 percent drop in same-store sales. Overall, sales dropped 6.5 percent to $2.5 billion, the company said on Tuesday. Profits fell to $694 million, or adjusted to $1.22 per share – higher than analysts expected. _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

Let's see if I've got this right.
Dick's stopped selling black rifles to those 21. CEO Ed Stack said, "don't worry, we'll be fine." Dick's has "3.7 percent drop". Now, the head Dick wants to STOP selling hunting supplies. What-a-dick. When will the stock holders call to cut off his dick? _________________ ‘What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits’ |

They are getting pounded by amazon in every category except the big stuff like exercise equipment. Gun sales is actually one of the categories where they wouldn’t have to compete with amazon. Great strategy you dicks!

I like how the press conveniently forgot that Dicks also pulled out after Sandy Hook as well.
This wasn't their first stab at the morally superior " we don't sell guns, so our shit doesn't stink - until we sell guns again, until we don't " competition for public opinion. Just like last time, they stepped on their dicks, tripped, fell down, and can't get up again. Dickheads. _________________ Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

I kinda think it's sad. It's just another FFL vendor that's caved to anti-gun political bullshit. Despite how a lot if you feel about dick's, it's another door that's being shut for gun owners/potential gun owners.

People actually shop at Dick's? The one in Silverdale, everytime I walk through its just me and the employees. Sometimes there might be one other person there usually waiting and just browsing since its in the local mall.

Goodness, the title of this thread worried me--I thought it referred to the Dick's of cheeseburger fame. Now losing that Dick's would be a tragedy.
As to the chain of sporting goods stores, I've never set foot in one and really don't care what they choose to sell. Dammit, now I want a chocolate milkshake from Dick's.... _________________ "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." ~Tenzin Gyatso, aka His Holiness the Dalai Lama "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves." ~ Romans 15:1 "Ils Ont Les Armes, On Les Emmerde, On A Le Champagne!"~Charlie Hebdo, November 2015 |

They have one out here in Lawton. I went in there out of curiosity. Guns, or no guns......They suck. I would rather shop at Walmart.

I used to go in there every Christmas but I haven't stepped foot in any of their stores since the ban.
