Dick’s eliminating firearms in half its stores

Article on marketwatch.com . Yesterday, Barron’s reported that Dick’s was eliminating firearms sales in half its stores, an extension of a prior discontinuance of “assault weapons.”

Interesting also to see that traditional firearms and hunting stores such as Midway and Natchez are now carrying fishing equipment, and promoting it. Says something or other about their expectations. Yeah, diversifying, I know.

Why not all stores? Is this like being a little bit pregnant?

They must figure it will slow the bankruptcy announcement down

Great place to sell a gun. At least in the parking lot.
Everyone knows where they are and lots of lighting. ;)

Now, that’s what I call justice.

Been there, done that, at least a few times . . .

That’s OK - I’ve already eliminated my spendimg in ALL their stores.

Me too!
I am in Lakeland and have met up with several members from Orlando at the Dick's off I-4 and 27.
Little poetic justice....

Haven't been in one in years since they caved in to a very vocal minority and stopped sales of ARs. They could all close today and it wouldn't have any effect on my life at all.

Same here. Don't seem to miss it very much at all.
