    yes, they have a good site, good ammo sales too, and prices are dam competitive. I try to stay off of there, especially when bored at 1am because its so easy to go click click click and next thing you know a huge box is at the door.
    never bothered with gunbroker except to browse around but not for any particular reason, I have several LGS around town, good people.

    I haven't seen a LGS that can touch the gun prices at GaG - and their selection is unbeatable.

    Did you just read the recent post in this thread where Dick's admits that their decision cost their shareholders 250 million?

    Do you call that minor or insignificant?

    Virtue signaling dumbassery comes at a cost

    What an absolute ridiculous comment. Dicks sold hunting rifles and shotguns, that’s it.

    I’m one of them. I wager I had spent probably 3-4K in guns, accessories and ammo in just over a short 2-3 years in Dicks. I haven’t stepped in that store since the day I walked in and had a sales associate inform me it was all gone.

    Too little too late. I stopped going to Dicks when they first announced their anti-gun agenda. I get my clubs directly from Titleist and my ski stuff from a local mom and pop shop now.

    Nice post Mike and I did just like PanMonarchist by stop giving them my $. Go woke... go broke. Perhaps the next big retailer will learn from Dick's mistakes.

    They sold ARs and handguns here too. I haven't been there since they stopped selling ARs just on principle. It's a longer drive to the golf shop now but actually worth it in the long run.
    They made their decision and I made mine.

    Well - so let's take a look at Dick's financials ...

    Revenue between October 2020 and October 2021- up 13.91%.

    Stock Price over the last 5 years - up 59.20%
    Stock Price over the last year - up 45.77%.

    Hardly end of the world stuff for Dick's.

    Do you guys ever research anything before you post bullcrap? Just asking.

    Doesn’t have to be end of the world stiff for get woke go broke to apply. Your ability to do the research on a term and how it’s commonly applied is your own shortcoming.

    I don't think business decisions like this have much to do with conscience. There are generally business reasons for them. It is a successful business. They didn't build it with emotions.

    Want to out-dick dicks? Load up a cart with tons of expensive gear, go find the manager and ask him where the gun counter is. When he says they took it out, leave the cart right there and walk out. :D

    That won't do anything but make some high school kid have to restock. No one else will care.
