Just a friendly reminder before the traditional shopping season kicks off. Remember that Dicks is the corporate sporting goods store that screwed lawful gun owners in the wake of Sandy Hook. They canceled orders for AR rifles and stopped selling all AR type rifles. A practice that they continue today.
That is all, Oh and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Re: A reminder about Dicks Sporting Goods
I had a part-time, side job working the gun counter at Galyan's 2000-2001 (shortly before Dick's bought out Galyan's). We were told then that Dick is a golf guy and not really pro-gun anyway. We were told to expect to lose all the handguns (at the same time that Bass Pro would begin stocking handguns again, after not doing so for some time).

I was told from a Dick employee that they now own Field and Stream as well.

Re: A reminder about Dicks Sporting Goods
I had the distinct displeasure of working for them while the whole thing happened. I told them what they did was despicable, spitting in the face of gun owners and stabbing us in the back, me included being a multiple AR owner and pistol shooter. Managers were Fudds or non gun owners. They didn't like me much after that. I wanted to walk out the door that very day but jobs are tough to come by these days without connections, and I had just moved at the time from way far away so I had nothing on short notice. I got out as soon as I could, and it sucks not talking to people I spent 1 1/2 out of 2 years knowing but someone lacking principles enough to not know right from wrong I have nothing in common with.
