I had no idea. I firmly believe in spending and / or boycotting as a show of personal conviction!

�We are extremely saddened by the unspeakable tragedy that occurred last week in Newtown,� the Pittsburgh-based company said in a statement.
�Out of respect for the victims and their families, during this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown"

.let me start with Im a gun owner and always carry a pistol ready to fire.. but I have to disagree with you about dicks..they were being respectful IMO..not trying to stir the pot.and dont get it wrong Im right there with ted nugent on gun control..

I know that was a lil off the post but just threw my 2cents in lol

They were just being Dick's

Not at all! This is how I learn. Thanx for the info!!

None of these places handle anything I shoot anyway.
AK, SK and black powder.

It was temporary, academy sports and outdoors did it as well as wal mart, so are yall not gonna shop them stores either, the ones around here where I am are back to sellin all types of guns again

Well I think it's illegal to shoot catfish regardless.....lol

I'm just glad I may be getting some fishin stuff on the cheap!

hahaha

the AR was sold at a dick's....i call that CYA

Dick's pulled AR's off all shelves and stopped selling them after Sandy Hook. They had a contract with Troy Manufacturing to sell their AR's and cancelled it. The customers that had put down deposits were given store credit, no refunds.

Academy just removed theirs from display, but continued to sell them. Due to customer complaints, they started putting them back on display. Dick's continued to be pushed around by the gun banners.

That was my attempt to get this thread back to 'catfishing stuff'..
