Smart move there Dicks! Maybe you should follow the JC Penny model, while you’re at it. I think Ellen Degenerate might be available.

Our city's recycling operation has a deal with Recyclebank, which measures the weight of your recycled trash and allows you to accrue redeemable "points". Recyclebank then offers you different options for spending your points - I'd always choose 15% off coupons for Dick's.

There were few exceptions in the coupon's fine print, so I bought plenty of hunting ammo and a bit of 5.56 and .45 ACP that way. It tickled me to turn the green agenda into lead, copper and brass.

Recyclebank changed the way the points are redeemed, so I lost interest. Just as well, since I won't be spending money at Dick's anyway.

I haven’t stepped foot into Dicks since they asked me for my driver’s license to buy a gun sling last summer.

The Dick head made a bad decision and it will cost his company big time.

if you can’t buy a gun, you don’t need ammo, or gun cases, or sights, or gun cleaning kits or if its a hunting gun, you don’t need any camping gear, including tents, sleeping bags, lanterns,cook stoves and cooking equipment, and forget hiking boots and outdoor clothes....

I was going to buy a Troy Carbine from them in early December on backorder. I would have been like all the other buyers who had their orders cancelled. Dick’s will be going out of business soon. Disrespecting the 2nd Amendment and your customers can be very bad for your business.

Now Dick's knows what price is for dicking around with those who support the Second Amendment. Glad to see that their sales have gone flaccid.

I haven't bought anything from them since they stopped selling "black guns."

Most of my friends refuse to shop there too.

A few weeks ago a buddy and I walked through out of boredom. As we were leaving an employee asked us if we had found what we were looking for. I responded "of course not. You stopped selling ARs, which is why I won't buy anything else from you either." "That makes two of us," was my buddy's remark.

you know, this is one of those things I CAN help out and make a difference. I have 3 kids in sports. I used to like the store because they carry the higher end equ and I could generally find whatever we needed. After the firearm fiasco, I became a loyal customer of Play it Again sports. I’m finding out they even have some nice used stuff. It’s still a bit overpriced, but not like Dicks... and they have a ton of new stuff as well. This year alone I’d say we have cost dicks in the neighborhood of 1500 bucks so far... buckets of baseballs, helmets, gloves, cleats every 3 months.. the list is never-ending. dick’s can burn, I haven’t been there since that story broke and I’ll never step foot in there again.

We have a Dick’s conveniently located nearby. I used to frequently buy ammo, other sporting goods, and even a couple of firearms from them (even though they would not carry handguns). I haven’t been in the store since their stupid decision regarding modern sporting rifles and will not ever go in the store in the future. I stll have Academy, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s and Cheaper Than Dirt in the area to take my money.

Let me guess, Dick’s figures pressure cookers cause crime too and won’t sell them.

WE quit Dick’s about 5 years ago when they tried a bait and switch on us with shotgun shells.
