Are you still buying from Dick's if so

As I said in my first post. I probably will never go in there again. I never say never though. Maybe I'm just weak...

That's all well and good.

Rhetorical question; You are in a position where you need to 'exercise' your 2A rights and you are missing that one little thing, that one little thing that is standing in your way of exercising this right. Time is short. Very short. Dick's is your only savior. What will you do?

Do you bite the bullet and slink on into Dick's and get that one thing? Or do you allow Dick's to stand in your way(by your own hand) and fail? Would it not make sense to use Dick's to continue the mission(exactly what they are opposed of your doing)? It's like finding yourself on the battle field, out of ammo, with plenty of enemy guns lying about, fight still raging. What would you do now?

Life is never black and white. We live in an imperfect world. I never say never.

Put away the popcorn. I know what rhetorical means.

I believe in not cutting off my nose to spite my face. I never said I would never shop at Cock’s, just making an observation on the owner twice in that link said he was a 2A supporter and then used the word “but”. He can’t have it both ways.

As to ever going into Cock’s again, there isn’t one close to me, so it’ll be easy for me to avoid.

I've never thought of Dick's as much of a firearms store. I do consider Dick's a go to box store for golf.

Where you have crossover guys, and especially where you have big dollars being spent for corporate sponsored customer appreciation golf tournament prizes and the like? There's a whole lot more than a little of that going on every year, and hopefully Dick's finds some of this business going elsewhere as well.

Went to Dick's yesterday so daughter could try on soccer goalie gloves then went home and ordered them from a different retailer - just wanted to "Thank" Dick's for their assistance in getting the correct merchandise from a different retailer!

I have a question for the people here. My 13 year old likes the sportswear that they carry by brands such as Nike and Under Armor. Anyone know of any other stores in the Carroll County area that carry these for girls? The selection at Kohls pretty much sucks.

I have been going to Golf Galaxy (owned by Dick's) for years. They also bought Golfsmith. Luckily, I have clubs, and do not need to buy them very often. I'll get my golf balls somewhere else.

Remember Golf Galaxy and Dick's are under the same umbrella.

All of the above present some challenges. There is no doubt that Dick's has some significant reach in numerous areas of sporting goods.

KJackson, perhaps not ideal given locations, but I know for a fact that Cabelas carries UnderArmour women's sportswear. To my knowledge, they do not carry Nike.

MTerry and pilot25, you're indeed correct. I have a gift card from Dick's as I write this, one that states that it can also be used at Golf Galaxy as well. Was unaware that they now have Golfsmith also, but good to know.

I know of Duke's in Annapolis as a possible alternative. As course pro shops go, which are to more avid golfers every bit of what a good gun shop is to us as shooters, Briarwood in York PA. comes to mind for demo days and good selection and price. There are undoubtedly some others.

Let's keep alternative ideas coming. LOTS of valuable information to be had amongst the group here! Dick's presents challenges as a very big fish in a very small pond in a lot of areas, but they're no friend to us. No sense helping them where they can be avoided.

I don't plan on going there ever again. I'd rather support a local business.

It was the last Saturday, my son was going to buy me a scraper tool for my AR-15 Bolt. Can you believe they are recalling stuff like that as well. I wonder if they are going to stop stocking .556 ammo as well? They have shot themselves in the foot so to speak, in my opinion. Silly they are and they will not be missed.
