Dick's made a bad decision to pull AR type guns, that's a given opinion by most gun owners. However, their primary customer base is geared more into hunting which they have kept a steady supply of hunting guns available.
They are one of the few ammo sellers that DID NOT raise ammo prices. Like any other store, supply was a problem. I buy ammo there at the same prices I was paying before the panic.
CTD removed all their online gun sales for over month and their explanation for doing so was not at all well received by customers. Their ammo prices soared to $1/round for 9mm, 45ACP and even .223. But they did try to recruit/sponsor NRA life memberships.
Dick's could have done a little better, CTD should have done a lot better.
Guys! No matter what these companies did, the enemy here is not these 2 companies. It's the anti gun crowd and gun grabbers in our city halls, state capitals and in Washington DC we have to deal with. Direct you anger and energy where it's most needed. Do we need the grabbers to see us as an intolerant mob of gun crazed lunatics? It is time to rise above their petty foolishness and act with intelligence.
There's no need to stop buying your golf clubs or your kid's football uniforms at Dick's, just make your point by purchasing guns elsewhere. Or go buy accessories and prepper supplies at CTD, just quit buying ammo. There are hard working and friendly employees there that had nothing to with policy, they are just trying to earn an honest buck.
Well, that's my two cents.
