I had to buy a box of 35 rem there once, only because Walmart only carries turdy turtie and 2sebbendie ammo.

I didn't realize Dick's was still in business... Went there for some cleats or LAX balls for my son couple of years ago... what a total joke of a store.
In fairness, I am not their target audience.
1) I don't smoke crack.
2) I don't impulse buy Nike chitt with stolen money/my whole paycheck from the carwash.
3) I demand Quality in things I buy.
4) I return Customer Service rudeness in salvo.

Should be good news to LGS and mom and pop stores. Highly doubt it ever had any effect on them to begin with. So I doubt it.

Their golf shoe selection was pretty good three years ago.
Last time I was in there. Last thing I bought from them.

2 handis, on closeout (.308 bull with scope for 150, and a whelen they said ammo wasnt made for), some .22, and .308, scope rail. I missed a .44. They never had a hunting department to speak of. The guns were uninteresting and priced just like bass pro.
Last time in one the gun rack was already empty, ammo was 30% off which put it at about walmart level . IF I get by I will look for a bargain.
In general I don't understand selling. 223 / .410 combos, mossy oak and corn feeders in Colorado. All the big stores

Guys, I understand your attitude and position. My main point is NOT I liked or used 'dicks' (no pun please) or will miss them. The following highlights what I think is IMPORTANT to the Hunting & Firearms industry,
ADD : That includes GUNS & AMMO.
What does anger me is their CAVING into the Anti 2nd A.
Back On Point : We collectively, are losing here tho. The buying public has 1 less Hunting Outlett.
Won’t miss them.

Our local news just said at 6:23 AM that Dick’s Sporting Goods was REMOVING the Hunting Departments in over 400 stores ! ! ! ! I expect Cabelas/BPS to follow suit. Family bought me a medium grade meat grinder at BPS a couple of years ago... wanted a tougher machine. Returned the original one and got store credit of $250+/-. The bigger ones were way overpriced... tried like hell to spent the $250 well on something else. Powder selection was a joke on availability and price. optics and guns same on way overpriced or junk. Ended up with 10-12 pairs of the Redhead Lifetime Warranty socks (which I now understand to no longer honored as Lifetime Warranty). Whatever... I am never going back. Couple more victories for the Left.

Did they Cave?
I don't think so. I think they looked hard at the margins and realized they were not and could not compete.

It is all coming down to shedding liability against future lawsuits.
Walmart dumping pistol ammo, XYZ dropping ARs etc. Dicks sucking dicks etc.
Home Depot had a HDX (house brand) version of Round-up... they clearanced it all last year to distance themselves from lawsuits (I assume).
I bought every jug the had at an amazing price. Changing snowflake world... just a fact.

There are 3 Dick's near me, one removed the hunting department, one removed both hunting and fishing gear, and I don't know if I was ever in the Dick's in Council Bluffs, IA..
I've bought a few rifles and some ammo from Dick's when their sale prices was too good to pass on. They never had anything special, but they would occasionally price what they had below small dealer whotesale.
The anti-gun lobby has a lot of economic power, mostly, it seems, from soccer moms who are afraid of guns. They always seem to blame the guns and not the shooter. Most of them live in safe neighborhoods without any drug or gang activity, but they are afraid because of incidents like the Columbine and Sandy Hook school shootings. Dick's is just catering to their most affluent customer base, probably a smart business move for them to focus their efforts where the most money is.

I heard they even pulled the fishing section at the local store. Haven't been there in many moons so I can't confirm, but believe the guy who told me.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

So the all the crap goes on sale and the “boycotters” will be lined up at the door looking for bargains and crying about it.
