Dicks carded me for purchase of a rifle sling

[JohnTRourke]

Location was in Centennial. Yes I complained, I used my 10 dollar score card to get it. Won't buy anything firearm related from them again.

yeah, that's going to help
not

as BP said, did you speak up at all? no

and you won't be anything firearm related from them??? BFD

how about "i'm not going to buy anything ever from them and I'm going to call corporate (phone calls are expensive, emails are cheap and ignored) and complain til i get a resolution????????"

Prolly could have gotten a better deal at Bowers, anyway.

That's some BS right there, buddy. I would have refused, but I have a tendency to make a scene when I feel someone is doing me wrong. I'm not allowed in the Chase branch in Aurora anymore.

Yes i am writing a letter tonight to the corporate office. My intention with this post is for others to pay attention to new corporate moves being done in response to the shooting. A sling is not a weapon, I suspect other bone head moves will be done too in the near future. I am not a person to make a scene but my reaction did draw attention.

A sling can increase the rate of fire by -1 when it gets in the way.

I have had something similar happen to me at Sportsmans in Loveland. The kid that rang me out must of been all of 16 years old. I cannot recall what I was purchasing but I think it was a handgun holster. When I was prompted to for my I.D. I simply told them no. He then told me could not sell it to and it was just as a manager was walking by and over heard the conversation. He came by and apologized and told me that he had told the young kid that "almost anything firearms needs to purchased by an adult" because the kid was not sure on what to I.D. for and what not to. Probably just a mix up but if they entered your info in the system I would have declined and asked for a manager.

I personally would have cried "RACISM" and immediately requested to talk to Eric Holder!
We cannot be treated this way!

Our rights our being stripped away one by one!

Besides I heard they no longer sell Handgun Ammo so I wont even bother with that place.

Stopped at Dicks Sporting goods one time many years ago. Between the morons and prices have never been back. Anything they have I can get elsewhere.

[Ah Pook]

Face it BSZ, you do look a little shifty.

Why did you purchase the item from them then?
Let them know with the lack of your dollars that you do not support such an infringement.
Did you speak with a manager? I would have let them know on no uncertain terms my view of such a practice.
We are going to get rolled over with this kind of crap unless you stand up and voice your disapproval.
Coming onto forum and griping about it is a waste unless you gripe to the business first.

THIS! I don't know why you didn't contact Bert, or one of our other wonderful industry partners. Bowers is great too! I got my Magpul ASAP from them and they were even nice enough to mount it for me!

Thanks for the fair warning though, I'm not buying anything firearms related from those guys now if that's their policy.
