Another Sporting Goods Store takes a stance

And not like you'd think they would take, looks like they're caving. Wished I'd have known this before buying a new pair of boots from them a couple weeks ago. Meh, last of my money they'll see.

Unrelated, but interesting fact (not that I was ever a big fan, walked out of a DSG in Indy one time after trying to buy $300 in fishing gear, but never found anyone to run the register).

They're just being "Dicks" about it.

I've been in 4 stores, 4 locations, never found what I wanted.

They stink anyway!

Never been a fan of them anyways. Like others, the few times I've gone in, they didn't have what I was looking for.

rekon they just lost my bussiness for good

"We no longer accept ads showing semiautomatic weapons and guns pointed at people," Time Warner Cable said in a statement. "We stand by this policy. If it's essential to a business owner to show this kind of imagery in their commercials, there are other advertising options in the marketplace."

I honesty don't think they had any paid gun advertisers anyway.......but you'll note they'll continue to show programming with all sorts of weapons.

Bootlickers.........

I don't remember any ad showing a weapon pointed at people.

Exactly, just a liberal attention getter...."Look at us, we're going to stop doing something we never did in the 1st place".

I never use that store anyway.....its more about golf than fishing.

Dicks Sporting Goods in Jackson Tn has some real Dicks working for them.

Another outfit takes a gun stance. Groupon? I didn't know what they do and had never used them and know that I won't be using them in the future.

lmao!!

Academy sports &outdoors here in Jonesboro pulled all of there so called "assault rifles" off the shelf. They also moved all the .22lr, .223, .40s&w, .308, and a few other popular caliber ammo up to the service desk. Now you have to go to the front of the store and ask for it, and limited to 3 boxes per person.

Sales are being limited because of current low supply/high demand. They're much rather have many customers walk away with at least some, than one walk away with it all and the rest leave empty-handed.

Lots of people gonna kick themselves when all this BS blows over and prices drop.

I hope you're right about it blowing over. I was going to purchase a new bushmaster AR for $600 around thanksgiving. But the store was out and i was waiting for them to get more in, and the this happened. Now you cant find one in a store around here. All the ones i've seen for auctions are going for $1500 and up. I should have went ahead a bought another one that was a little more money, but still lower than $1000.

The Dicks in Memphis is nothing more than a UnderArmor outlet and Golf store. Zero service.
