Dicks sporting

[outrider58]

All I know is Easton hasn’t been the same since BJs and Dicks came into town.

I see what you did there...

If a corporation is anti gun but still wants to sell me a gun/ammo at a heavy discount...yes, I’ll take that discount, thank you very much. I know that my statement is an oversimplification of the overall situation but to Ammo Johns earlier point; when Walmart dropped prices everyone went there to stock up.

Not everyone. Some people actually stand upon their principles with actions, such as boycott.


Fortunately, there are still some people like that alive. Fortunately, there were some like that in 1776. Not everyone, and some certainly had "valid reasons" for not standing upon their principles.

Some people draw their first line at money. If they will not risk their money over right and wrong, they will never risk their liberty and most certainly not their life (although I'm sure a lot on this forum will bluster about how they "served, swore an oath, wrote a blank check with their lives, etc.".

Talk is cheap. And we know some people's price is very cheap.

I stopped shopping at WalMart when they determined an 18 year old was adult enough to enlist or even be drafted but not adult enough to buy a firearm or ammo. Haven't been into a Dick's since they first promoted their anti-Constitutional stance. I will willingly go further and pay more.

Some readers will become angry with me because they know I'm directly calling them out. They will become angry because they know I'm telling truth.

They are the ones who talk big but will be the first to line up to surrender their guns and to rat out others. They have already surrendered their integrity: for filthy lucre.

That’s great that you stand on your principals. I personally have no problem with someone who buys items @ crazy cheap prices because that particular business is being politically correct and bailing out. Walmart ammo was 75% off in some stores or more, I spent almost $1000. It was my choice and I own it. I don’t think you are wrong in what you believe other than the fact you think that gives you the right to insult or belittle those who don’t believe the same way you do.

The more we continue to eat our own the less we can get accomplished. Just my opinion.

Boycotts, to me, are personal decisions. We all have our peeves. Each of us has to draw our own limits.

My first reaction back when Dicks decided to be dicks was, I'll still buy your shit and continue to exercise my 2A rights in spite of you. Ki d of an 'in your face' thing, but I decided I wouldn't on basic principles.

I agree. I don’t go in Dicks, but if someone told me they were selling 9mm @ .09 a round, I would go in there and clean them out. That would benefit me in allowing me to use my 2A rights a little cheaper and have more cash for more guns!

So saving a few dollars while exercising 2A rights is surrendering integrity... ok...

I'll be laughing all the way to the bank to deposit what I saved by buying a shotgun at Dick's...

I wouldn’t go in if their shit was 90% off. Funny how so many gun owners will cut off their nose to spite their face to save a little in the short run and cost so much in the long run. Nobody was going to shop at Walmart until they blew out their remaining ammo....

I'll be contacting you soon when I need to stock up on my 9 mm ammo supplies. I'm especially glad that I can now meet up with you in Frederick on a weekend, maybe even in the parking lot right in front of the entrance to Dick's! I'd much rather buy from you than from Dick's.

We will make sure to get you stocked up.

 

[herkybird72]

Dick’s, the name says it all. I have not nor will I spend 1 cent in Dicks since they went anti 2A. At the same time I will not tell anyone how to spend their own money but keep in mind that IMHO buying from them even at a deep discount you are helping them to keep in business.

 

[Combloc]

Dicks can suck a XXXX. I wouldn't shop there if every single item cost one penny.

 

[K31]

Dick's can eat a bag of themselves.

 

[babalou]

Haha cannibals

 

[RCH]

I also haven't stepped in their store since they went anti 2A. They will end up the same way as the Sports Authority.

 

[CrawfishStu]

We haven't been in there since their anti 2a campaign. The son is in hockey and baseball and I have to say, it has been really inconvenient with a Dicks across the street that I won't shop at. But, we make do and they can pound sand.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

What's Dicks?

 

[outrider58]

What's What're Dicks?

Number and agreement.

 

[TexDefender]

I went in to the one in Waldorf a few days back, just to check the prices. I was told the there were various stores in the state were going to eliminate their sporting goods section. He stated the Waldorf was going to expand, because the area there supports it more than the other store. Seems a lot of people are going over the "Border" to purchase stuff. How true that is I don't know. But I would think we could infer, at least they are having some finance trouble.

It's funny.... They aren't so anti 2A. They own Field and Stream stores and they sell guns. There is a combo Dick's and Field and Stream in Dickson City, Pa. You walk in, Dick's is to the left and Field and Stream with guns to the right. Check out is the Dick's registers.
