No didn't mean that at all. I'm saying they HAVE the right to not sale anything they want . People are starting to sound like liberals on here. Boycott this, protest that, see what we are becoming. The same actions that make us want to puke . People always wanting to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and complain...

WE ARE ALL guilty

WHOA slow down !! So you guys don't believe in the constitution !!!! Our Vets fought and died for the right to choose!!!!!!. They didn't say they are not going to sale guns , any number of which you have the right to bear and protect yourself.

Don't be a hypocrite !!!! You want your rights but they don't have the right to pick what guns they sale....

This is the post I was referring to. Maybe I just read it wrong.

I am afraid that some of these big stores are all about the "bottom line". They have some guys in a big board room that see what is coming down the road and they are jumping on the "politically correct" band wagon. Its easier to go along than stand up for what's right. I'd like to see our Politicians along with major sporting goods suppliers and Gun shops make a statement and address the real issues. AR 15's are not the issue. If we take up all the Ar15's then the killers and crazies will use the next best thing. Drugs are illegal, and yet they are everywhere! Drugs are being sold in our schools to children everyday but yet, it seems we are loosing the battle. If the Government cant stop drugs, how can they stop illegal guns? As stated earlier, yes there is a lot of retailers that support the liberal agenda. But once I know who they are, I stop using them. I cant shut them down myself, but if more did the same, then it would matter. Its all about "Conviction". How much do you believe in the things that you hold dear? We just need to pray that our elected officials have the Conviction to support the folks that elected them!

They have the right to choose what the sell but I do not think they have the right to decide to stop selling something to a certain segment of the population that it is otherwise legal to sell to. They are going to stop selling guns to 18-20 year olds. That is discrimination based on age and I do not believe that is legal.

And I certainly have the right to decide where I spend my money other than taxes.

Dick's has been a sell out for years , hide the evil black guns every time there is any chance they could offend.

really surprised they even had them which makes them even bigger hypocrites they swore after sandy hook they swore would not sell them any more but apparently they wanted to get a piece of the pie after they rejected it and its users.


they are long time sellouts and traders there to make money and bend to the winds of of public opinion. no friend of the sportsman or the patriot.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Typical hypocrites, they pulled them after Sandy Hook but continued to sell them at their Field and Stream stores. Now they are pulling them from F&S. Wonder if they will just move them to Golf Galaxy which they also own or hang a new banner to sell them under.

Just sound like publicity prostitutes to me and the liberal media is stumbling all over themselves to provide free publicity for them.

They're called Dick's for a reason. They should rename it Politically Correct Dicks.

Off subject but funny story. I was coaching my daughters soccer team of 6 year old girls. All the yuppy moms were standing around after practice and
the one mom asked where to buy shin guards. Another mom replied I just love Dicks, I died laughing. Then another mom says I googled Dicks the other day,
oh my, oh my what came up. It was too funny.

Jbyrd, you sitting down? I agree with everything you posted, lol, just don't talk Saban and Bama and everything will be cool, lol.

I smell what your cooking but I am not hungry. Lol

I am not being a hypocrite just using my own rights to boycott anyone or any place I choose.

If you decide to support businesses that are making it public news to play along with the anti games by all means that's your choice.

My game is simple just stay out of thier place of business.

They have thier right and they have chosen to do what they did right or wrong. I am not fringing on them or taking thier rights away. Just like your rights I am not fringing on your beliefs or opinions and you should not on mine as well.

They have the right to pick and choose what they sell... I have the right to pick and choose where I shop.

The first time I went in I was disappointed with what I found. But I will admit to buying a .22 cal cleaning jag.

The second time I went in I was delirious with fever.

I'm okay with it, that's their right to sell or not sell whatever they want. I also have the option to give them my money or not. They need to remember this when a cake shop doesn't want to cater to something they don't agree with.

Good Lord... A store decides to stop selling a product and you all lose your minds. It's rather comical.

It's their right to choose not to sell handguns, so they don't....now they are deciding to not sell AR's...fine, whatever.

Go buy from the little guy who was losing business to Dick's anyway. I suspect most folks on here don't frequent them anyway as trappers since they don't carry ANY trapping gear.

Get a grip and don't be such snowflakes.


Thank you!

Some of you guys are pretty sad. You see nothing wrong with being a turncoat person/company.... They don’t stand for anything and defend nothing. If I like you today and stab you in the back tomorrow you’d come back Friday and help me out?!? They did the same thing last time, winds changed and they starting stocking them again and now just like last time they are the first to run their mouth off telling everyone how they’ve seen the light. You’re right it’s their company and they can do what they want I have no problem with that...it’s the citizens that see no problem with their way of practicing business & it’s direct impact on what you supposedly enjoy and support that worries me. You send money to Hillary’s campaign while you were hoping Trump would win too????

Same company that owns Dick's also owns Golf Galaxy for those that chase the little white ball around.
