Dicks carded me for purchase of a rifle sling

[Byte Stryke]

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.

Dumbest shit I have ever heard of...

5.7 rifle round in a hand gun
almost everything starting with a .4 goes in both handguns and long guns
5.56 available in both.

worse argument that trying to classify an "assault weapon" or the new "high powered police pistol"

Happened to me as well. Was there by chance and saw that they had rail covers. Got carded for those.

When the girl asked for my ID I said "Why the F**K do you need that for?" She said "Store policy" I told her back "Its not ammo or a firearm so no ID is required" She replied back 'I cant sell it to you". So i decided to just leave.

This happned at the Flatirons Mall back in early June.

Just an FYI was only there looking around since the wife was shoe shoping and I need to burn some time.

BTW what is with the 10 round mags they sell with the AR15 they have?

Well it appears I won't ever be stepping foot into a Dicks ever again.

Then again...I may feel a little froggy one day and go in there to see if they actually would card me for something like that. Sometimes I just get a hankerin to start some shit like that

Take the sling back then go purchase the same thing and see if they do it again.

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.

Great advice to be read and memorized

A phrase from Platoon! "It's politics man, politics". Dicks was probably started by Clinton, and now ran by Obama! I never liked them anyway!

I actually bought my very first gun at dicks sporting goods when I was 18. It was a good experience then. But over the time things have just got worse and worse. They used to carry handguns too back in the day. I only buy golf stuff there now.

When I saw that they and Sports Authority were selling AR rifles I was very happy that they both broke away from political pressure. Last time I bought ammo at Dicks was last fall for my hunts since 300wsm is hard to get. I was not carded for the ammo thus the sling caught me off guard. I suspect both may stop selling AR rifles down the road.

It may not be store's policy... Just an untrained individual.
