What a complete douche bag!
Dicks Sporting Goods has not been selling AR-15 type rifles since after Sandy Hook happened in 2012. However, a subsidiary (?) of Dicks, Field And Stream Stores has been selling the rifles. Until now. Wal-Mart has not been selling AR type rifles since 2015. And Wal-Mart has been phasing firearms out from stores that were not in more "rural" areas for years. (The store in Laurel does not have guns, but one near Glen Burnie does?) So there isn't anything new about that. I will probably get flamed for this, but isn't 8 pages enough? Just askin'...
What a complete douche bag!
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, Board of Governors today unanimously voted to expel Dick’s Sporting Goods from membership for conduct detrimental to the best interests of the Foundation.
Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired a Washington D.C.-based government affairs firm, for “[l]obbying related to gun control.” Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Edward W. Stack announced earlier this year the retail chain would end sales of modern sporting rifles, voluntarily raise the age to 21 to purchase firearms in their stores and called for more restrictive legislation. Dick’s later announced they would destroy the remaining modern sporting rifle inventory. NSSF responded that business decisions should be individually made, but was nonetheless disappointed and the decision does not reflect the reality of the vast majority of law-abiding gun owners.
The National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF) just expelled Dick's from its membership.

My prediction is that Dicks will double down and use this as an "opportunity" to stop selling any guns or ammo and get out of that business altogether.
Fine by me. Hope they choke on it.

Looks to me they cater to a ton of Moms, and Granola types. LL Bean, and REI rake in coin selling no firearms. Dicks has a ton of apparel sales taking up their floor space. Many other sports they cater to, whose participants of care less about firearms.
I will never set foot in Dicks again. Looking forward to watching their market value continue to plummet.
Best thing you can do to D***s is to use their store as a showroom for the internet.
Yep. Play touchy feely to verify model/size, then find it online.
