    Also Hi-Point Firearms and Inland Mfg also just cut ties to Dicks. Betting more to come. Hopefully Remington, Savage, S&W and Henry follow.

    Heard Ruger doesn't sell to them directly but their distributors have been stopping sales to Dicks.

    People are working on Henry, Remington, Savage, Sig, Glock, Benelli and a few other gun makes sold at those 2 stores along with the ammo companies to stop sales to Dicks & Field and stream.

    That's going to hurt Field and Stream way more than it's going to hurt Dicks.

    We have a Dick's about 10 minutes away, but I drove to downtown Cincy to buy a baseball glove, batters tee and a bat, just to stay out of Dick's. Did it hurt anyone, other than me? Maybe. Maybe not. But I got what I wanted, I supported a local store, and my items were made in the U.S.A. I don't know if those items would have been made in the U.S.A. from Dick's, or not, but that's been getting more and more important to me over the past few years. Support the little guys (me!), and support us (America!).

    Where'd you shop? I'm downtown right now and I'm thinking of stopping by Koch's to pick up my daughter a new softball bat.

    If you want a softball bat don’t buy from a big box store! I’ve got a friend that’s a dealer if you want one of the fancy composites. PM me and I’ll send you his info.

    The choice is between Dicks and Kochs?

    Same company.

    I realize that but I was just thinking that each stores clientele is a bit different and the Field and Stream store would be more effected by not having guns to sell.

    First and foremost, the would need to change the name to Stream.

    Well drove by the one here today and at noon, there were 5 cars there in front of their doors. Granted people could walk in from the inside of the mall, but the mall is even slow itself. Gander Outdoors on the other hand was PACKED.

    People who bought guns and supplies at Dicks also for the most part buy other stuff there. Seen a few people on another board who are ticked off at them over this that are in charge of purchasing equipment for youth sports orgs and are looking elsewhere to buy equipment. Thought of getting a new set of golf clubs (mine are now mis matched over the years from replacing individual clubs when one gets broke). Was a decent set at Dicks I was looking at, but may as well got to Dunhams now for them. Need a new portable grill for the races I have to camp out at. Aint getting one from Dicks. About due for a new sleeping bag. Again not getting one at Dicks.

    Last thing I bought at Dicks was a box of .22 ammo right before this all started.
