Just don’t shop there boycott Dick’s.
We have a few Dick’s shops, but they will not again be bothered by my presence.
In any case, we now have a Bass Pro shop going up...and why bother with wimpy little dorky (Omama-like) stores when there is a real one around?
No more Dick’s.
Their guns may be made in the USA but the rest of the shi- is Chinese.
If the name fits...
Hmmmm, I wonder?
Knee jerk reaction or profit?
Those guns will probably bring $12-$1400 right now. Why sell them for $799 if you can find some reason not to?
For the record, I’ve only been in Dick’s Sporting Goods twice, didn’t like the place, and have never been back.
Sounds like that sporting goods store is acting like their name
Who needs Dick’s? We have a Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy Sports, and a few gun shops in the region. That ought to cover most of my sporting needs.
Anybody have an email address for Dick’s leadership?
Talk about living up (or down) to a name...
I recall from my job in a gun store many years ago that Federal law gives the dealer broad discretion in refusing to sell to anyone if the transaction just doesn’t “feel right”.
That is likely enough wiggle-room to get them out of the lawsuits.
Dicks: No guns but free birth control (Read: Abortions) for their employees. What fools.
The GF drug me into a Dick’s before Christmas. Ammo was wiped out. Lines to registers were 1/2 way around the store.
Soccer moms and pop culture were wiping out the clothing and sport gear.
Dick’s had a very good Christmas.
Dick’s Sportin Goods are penny wise and pound foolish.
Most likely they are seeing this as a cost cutting measure. This is when the suit replaces the brain.
They are still selling baseball bats (very deadly) and gold clubs.
” The store has issued refunds and added a $100 gift card for the inconvenience...”
***
So the article is apparently misleading. Refunds are being issued — just not for the real value of the guns.
I’m no lawyer, but from a legal standpoint, it looks like Dicks did what it was required to under the law. Actually, by issuing the gift cards, it went beyond what is legal and customary for a refund policy. Most stores will give a refund or credit if something goes wrong in a transaction, but there are situations where a merchant can refuse a refund or a credit (trying to return a clearance item, for example). Perfectly legal.
I don’t like Dick’s knee-jerk reaction, but I don’t see how a court could require Dicks to compensate purchasers further. I don’t think there are damages for pain and suffering when an item is no longer offered for sale.
There’s a reason why they named their company “Dicks”.
You saw the hearings when the Fluckers thought they might be denied their condom/pill payments from their insurance carriers. Where are the hearings on the Hill about a store refusing to avail their Second Amendment Rights? Do the Pubbies have any Balls? They must be all RINO’ed up, again!
Dick’s was already on the edge. Refusing to sell handguns showed their policies before this. They have a store very conveniently located to my shopping area. I will go elsewhere to satisfy my “needs”.
From what the article says, he made out with an extra $100.
I have thought about going into Dick’s and gathering up an AR-15s worth of goods and having them rung up at the register. Then call the manager over and tell him this is what I was going to spend in his store on a new rifle but I will never spend a nickel in any Rick’s anywhere,anytime.
