This is just sickening. Headline " Dick's was expecting backlash, instead gets flowers, and donuts". Ain't that sweet. Just ignored the backlash completely. Time will tell, as I'm sure donuts and flowers don't pay the bills!

I have appreciated Dick’s as the only store open on Sunday in my neck of New Jersey where I could get ammunition and other shooting supplies.
But now, more than ever, I will support my LGS

I think the last time I was in a DSG store was about a year or so ago to get some ammo. I was amazed at how crappy their gun section had become after taking over from Galyans. It used to be great. I go to Scheel's for ammo now if it's on sale.
I won't be back... Hope they make a lot of money from those gun grabbing whiners becaue they won't be getting any of mine.

I hope old Dick is allergic to those flowers.

Very true! I try to go to the small gun shop anyway because gun business is their only business and they actually know the answers to my questions. I'm relatively new to our sport and I like to keep the small business community healthy in our town [emoji56][emoji56]

Where I live, if you’re a shooter, Dick’s mainly is a joke. Ive bought some target shotshells from them once in a great while but otherwise all I see is racks and racks of overpriced clothes and shoes and other ridiculous gadgety junk I couldn’t care less about. I actually dislike going into their store because of the style and atmosphere. It feels “passively hostile” to me. I almost feel sorry for the folks who work there. 
Texas Star is correct. There’s no reason for the MSM to talk about pushback. Nothing there for them!

I am sure shareholders will appreciate daphodils in lieu of dividends.

I could kinda use a couple dumbbells, and some exercise pants (yeah, I know, me exercisin' is like the pope skinny-dippin'), but I'm thinking I won't be going to Dick's for that stuff.
The only question is--where do I get those things around here? Wally World made a pointless gesture of appeasement, so do I forgive them for being Neville Chamberlain in the name of $10 jeans? If I took a hard-enough line on stuff, I wouldn't even be able to shop Amazon.

Again, no loss here. There's only one Dicks store in my part of deep south Texas and their gun department is a joke. It almost reminds me of the fishing department at Target. non existent other than for a few rubber worms and kiddie poles.
Most of the shoppers here are joggers & golfers.

I'm waiting to see the flowers they get when they go under.

December 14, 2012 the Sandy hook shooting occurred and shortly following wal mart sold out all AR 15 and never restocked. gone , only to sell 22's and a few shotguns and bolt guns. now we have the florida shooting and wal mart upped the age to 21 to purchase any firearms. companies are throwing themselves headfirst into this gun debate by canceling any association theyve had with the NRA. hertz, chubby ins, alamo, avis, delta, met life, and many more to name a few. I read this silly **** of us gun guys not patronizing Dicks, wal mart, met life etc. thats stupid , i see us in Wal mart every day bragging thats where we buy our ammo , our shotgun shells, hunting cloths , flashlight batteries . what i don't here bragging about is a push to get a movement to sign up more membership in the NRA. 81 million people in the usa own one or more guns; and 5 million are members of the NRA. now , instead of bragging and sending messages on the computer , put that same effort to sign a family member , a son / daughter . friend, business associate to a one year membership in the NRA. if we could inflate our membership by 15 to 20 million we'd be able to shop where ever we choose.... do you people understand where this is going ...GROW THE MEMBERSHIP !!

I bought some ammo at Dicks in Southern Pines NC last year, I think it was .22LR but might have been 9 mm. They locked the ammo into a large plastic container which I couldn't handle. They escorted me to the register at the front of the store where the clerk couldn't get the darned container open, had to call for a supervisor for help. Lord knows how they would have treated me if I'd actually bought a gun! They don't trust me, I don't trust them. Never will darken their door again!

throwing money at the NRA isn't the answer. we need to grow the membership . the politicians look at people count in the NRA; scares the hell out of them , makes them sit up and listen.
Do you have a Dunham's around.

I thought flowers and doughnuts were for funerals.
