Dick’s is just what the name says it is.
I absolutely do not like Dick’s in the Austin Tx area.
sounds like a regional thing. when i purchased 20 boxes of .223 tula last week they were out on the shelf and i put them in my little basket and carried them up to the register. did not have to show ID and the only thing the girl at the register asked for was if i had their reward club card.
They used to be very anti EBR but recently have opened up and started carrying brands like troy and viking tactics.
Are you 'allowed' to buy from the internet?
Much better deals to be had.
Wally World San Antonio....walk in, tell the person behind the sporting goods counter what you want, it is rung up and bagged and out you go. Shotgun shells are on a shelf outside of the counter so they are grab and go. YMMV.
Dicks is less dick-like elsewhere. The one in Westminster, MD will let buy handgun ammo off the shelf, no clerk involved. But the one in Fairfax, VA (just a mile from NRA HQ) used to keep all handgun ammo (including .22 LR) locked behind the counter.
But buying a gun at any Dicks is a chinese fire drill involving multiple sales reps, a manager and red tape. It's worth paying a few extra dollars elsewhere to avoid the hassle.
I never buy guns or ammo in general sporting goods shops. I deal strictly with gun shops for my firearms and accesories. Gander Mountain expected me to buy Remington Golden Saber 9mm 147 grs. for (brace yourself) $39 per box of 25. Buh-bye, Gander.
Dick’s is next to BJ’s. LOL.
When at home I go to the local WalMart. Buy it right there with a credit card; it’s bagged and I continue shopping. This is in WA a real real real blue state.
Reload.
Must be a local issue, the one near me doesn’t do any of that stuff.
heck they make me carry it to the cash register and even make me pay for it. you’re right, they are evil
That’s what you get when living in a Commie State.
What’s a LTC? That isn’t the way Dick’s operates in VA
This is in Mass.? Doesn’t surprise me. Friend went in a gunshop in Mass. and said the owner was nasty and would not let him so much as touch a rifle on display without seeing his permit first.
They are headquartered here in Pittsburgh, and anyone who has ever had business dealings with them agrees, they certainly live up to their name.
I checked out the one in Albuquerque. There’s nothing they have I can’t get easier and cheaper elsewhere.
Regardless of the process, the Remington bulk stuff is crap.
I’ve had about 1/12 of the rounds misfire.
Federal works GREAT.
I try and buy my range ammo at Wallmart. It’s cheap if you can find it in stock. The Walmarts around here now actually limit purchases. These days the first TWO customers to the desk after the shipment arrives clean the store out of .45, .38, .357 and .40.
They always have plenty of .22 it seems.
Wal-Mart hands me my box of Federal 525 .22LR and I walk to the cashier to check out without a problem.
