Now that just screams “Get Off My Lawn!”
Did I much care if some company adds arbitrary restrictions on sales? No, not really. Maybe 17-20 year olds might be a bit miffed, but doesn't affect me much. Destroy your inventory? Umm, sure, whatever. Seems stupid, but it's your stuff, have at it.
But when a story dies down and the outrage towards your company might just be smoothing out, you don't go out and pimp the story around again. Especially in the middle of spring when a whole lot of hunters and target shooters are picking out what they want.
I wasn't jumping up and down to avoid Dicks before. But you know, pile on the stupid, guess I won't harm them with my ignorant money, including their Field & Stream stores as well as True Runner stores. I'll just bring my smartphone in with me, and blow their time and finger their inventory and then buy it elsewhere.
No more trips to Dick’s for me!
What a dumb thing to do. I call, ‘PR Stunt’ and nothing more.
and make sure its destroyed.
= = =
Just include enough ‘evil’ ammo so I can wear them out.
Unless there are pictures, I call bullshit. Their firearms wholesaler/distributor(s) will be buying the stock back at a discount.
I don’t think they can. It isn’t like the stock was destroyed in a fire or flood. they did this on their own. Its like getting a tax write off because you tourched your own business.
Any business that goes down the political road is run by idiots. It is a lose-lose deal.
I call BS. This libtard will secretly sell the inventory.
'Gina's ?
Oh, yeah. He'll bulldoze enough of them for the publicity photographs and liquidate through third parties.
lol
Wonder if there are some shareholders who might want to sue to stop them from destroying assets.
Years ago there was a Dick's store in a mall south of us. I went in there to find some pistol ammo and took a look at the, Remington version of the AR-15. That Dick's store had at least five of those in stock but had no other type or make of "black gun." They did have a pistol I sort of wanted and about two weeks later I went in to purchase that pistol and Dick's had pulled all handguns. I couldn't even get pistol ammo there anymore so I never returned to a Dick's store no matter where I have traveled, and that was at least ten or more years ago.
Ha ha.
I dont need Dicks, either.
If I were a Dick’s stockholder I would be on pushing my lawyer to sue
