I am done with Dick's Sporting Goods! (vanity)

Posted on 09/30/2012 8:04:53 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

I was at Dick's this morning to buy some 223 ammo and was paying in cash. Before the checkout clerk would ring me out I had to tap Yes or No on the pad for the question of "Are you a US citizen"? None of the other gun stores I frequent ask this question......will be my last ever Dick's Sporting Goods purchase.

How did this question bother you? Are you not an American citizen?

They don’t sell ammo to non-citizens?

I thought checking for US citizenship what we want MORE of.

I’m glad that my ballot application has a check box for citizenship.

Why? Isn’t that a question we ask suspected illegal aliens? You aren’t willing to cooperate with a task that conservative people are trying to establish to weed out illegals?

So you’re okay with an ammo seller not worrying about selling to illegals?

We have foreigners who shoot at our club at times. There is no law against foreigners buying ammo nor should there be.

You are clueless when it comes to the 2A.....like that question will stop any criminal from getting ammo!

I would only go to Dicks if I wanted to get the latest fashionable kayaking clothing or some other gay looking stuff. I would never go there for anything gun related.

Why? I think this is great. Who wants noncitizens buying firearms?

Maybe you should articulate why this has offended you. I will admit that I’ve never seen such a question when purchasing ammo, yet not sure it is offensive.

I actually don’t have a problem with that.

My problem with Dick’s Sporting Goods is the signs in the front doors that say no weapons allowed on the premises.

I doubt it was intended to stop any illegal from buying ammo. It was more than likely a nod from their legal department to distance themselves fro an illegal shooting up said place. a liability thing.

Did you have to give them a telephone number? If so did you do so?
