The chief executive officer of Dick’s Sporting Goods said Tuesday the retailer will stop selling firearms at 125 of its stores, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In a conference call, Dick’s CEO Ed Stack said the retailer will remove guns and some hunting gear after testing the idea in 10 stores last year, the newspaper reported.
The move continues a rollback that Dick’s began last year, when the company announced it would stop selling assault-style guns and would not sell weapons or ammunition to anyone under the age of 21. That announcement, made in the wake of a mass shooting that killed 17 people at a Parkland, Florida, high school in February 2018, resulted in a sales slump of 3.9 percent for the three-month period that ended Nov. 3, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The space the weapons occupied will be used to sell licensed sports gear and outdoor recreation equipment, Stack said during the conference call.

We Scots Irish and Huns are with you mio amico.
The writers of Airplane! also did Top Secret!:
Hillary Flammond: My uncle was born in America.
Nick Rivers: Oh, really?
Hillary Flammond: But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.
Was he governor or president when that came out?
I don’t know. My mind is shot.
I don’t even know if he was governor when he ran.
I was 12. And not a particularly bright 12 year old at that :)
:) Huns? Sheesh. Brutal bunch.
Dick’s just can’t get enough of getting woke and going broke.
ROFL!
“What an appropriately named retail establishment.”
Should have named it Richard’s...a dick meant a dick in 1948.
Sheeeeyit. While I was getting my car repaired today, the TV in the waiting room was showing a gay male couple smooching. One of the men was actually gay-married to another person. So, now that we have gay marriage across the land, we can now have gay adultery, too!
“He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.”
I fantasized taking a raft to Cuba during the Obama reign of terror.
Well, it wouldn't have been much of a difference, LOL!
Ditto. Bought my 12g there.
Never set foot in one again.
Dick’s can now complete only with REI with their non-hunting outdoors metrosexual crap.
Target is dead to me, too.
LOL
It’s like watching a jumper actually jump.
Absolutely!!
#### that forgetting stuff.
Gillette I won’t buy for a while.
I’m still on the fence about whether it is permanent.
That stupid commercial where the black dudes had to stop white guys like 4 times from harassing women may be a lifelong deal breaker.
I’m going to use up my current supply of gilette razor blades, then buy schick. Eff ‘em.
Colloquial...German.
somewhere online last month, I saw a sign on a gun shop window. “We’re not dicks.”
Colloquial...German.
