    Seems like an opportunity for a LGS.

    Here's a slogan: "Buy from us. We're not Dicks's."

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Basically agreeing with Opie.

    I’m pretty neutral on Dick’s, personally. Honestly never think of them for anything firearms, I’d certainly sooner shop locally (edit: or online) for anything like that. This is true for everything: In all categories, you’d be better shopping at a specific shop. It is big box, and therefore sort of ridiculous especially for guns, bicycles, fishing, snowboard, hunting, camping, etc, etc. But it isn’t horrible for sporting goods like bats/balls in a pinch, or equipment (treadmills), or for “athleisure” clothes or shoes on sale. Even for these, you can do better, but they aren’t quite as silly as buying guns at a place with a basketball for a logo.
    I totally agree with gun sales will not dent their bottom line. Top line during panic buying would make some different on revenue.

    They have history of making knee jerk business decision. Not just on quit selling msr, but on golf and UA as well.
    They also have labor issues (unpaid lunch and no break) for employees, and it has crappy images.


    They are constantly losing mkt on specialities and generic/general sporting goods (even their appreals). Looking at their sales per sq-ft for yrs, it looks like they are leaning towards to be large big5.
    Now if big5 and Dicks merge (like sears and kmart), it would be "Big Dicks."

    I gave up on these cheese dick fucktards after sandy hook. These limpdick cocksuckers won’t see a dime of my money.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Yep, I mostly agree. There is nothing they sell that you can’t find a better or cheaper version of elsewhere. But they are convenient - that is their angle. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them go away, but I also don’t hold any ill will to them.

    I don’t shop there much at all, but I also don’t mind strolling through. I think I got an avalanche hat there a few months back - before that, I honestly couldn’t remember. Big5 is long gone in Golden, but they were like the discount version.
    Obviously not a golfer.

    REI just jumped on the bandwagon by cancelling orders from companies that are part of the same conglomerate as a firearm related business.

    Yup, they've been liberal, granola, tree huggers for years.
