Dick's suspends rifle sales!

[worddoer]

Makes me wonder what is going to happen for all those people who ordered the Troy rifles that were on sale just before Black Friday. I really wanted one of those rifles, but did not have the funds.

I wonder if they will get what they ordered now?

And will Troy find someone else to sell through?

Probably depends upon whether they were paid for in advance. If so, Dick's will probably quietly hold their collective noses and allow it. If not, then my guess is that those customers are SOL.

Dick's wasn't Troy's only retail outlet was it?

I just talked to a sales guy at the Dicks in Hobart at the mall. He said that when he came in today, he was told to pull all AR style rifles off the shelf as well as all accessories. They are sitting in the back and have been locked out on the registers. Even if you had cash in hand, they couldn't sell you one.

Seeing Miketodd's post above I would wager no sale on the Troy's.

It was my understanding that Dicks was Troy's only outlet. Troy did not think they had the production capacity to go through any other vendors or larger vendors.

Dicks will never get from me again, spineless and idiotic company.

What do they really think they will gain by this gun sale ban?

+1.

This will do no good. Criminals are not racing out to get a background check and buy a gun.

Meh, Dick's was an overpriced store with **** poor customer service anyway. Nice letter Doggy, by the way. If you don't mind, I may have to "borrow" it and send it to them as well.

Thanks, and you and anyone else that would like to borrow it may do so as well. Dick's customer service email is Customer.Service@dcsg.com

Not a fan of Dick's.

Cancelled my Troy order from Dick's and got my LE6920 just in time I think.

Well, if they thought they had problem meeting demand before, then they're in for a rude awakening after all this crap...

Where did you find the Colt in stock?

 

[cmstuard]

I just unsubscribed from their daily e-blast.

Nothing new here, remember Colt pulling ARs after the Stockton CA. school shooting?
Colt had a very large share of the AR market back in 89 and pulled the plug on their own. They relented to consumer demand after awhile tho' and re-released the ARs ,sans bayo lugs. Before this dies down we'll be boycotting more than Dicks, maybe we should have boycotted Colt back in 89.

who cares?
why is everyone making a big deal about it?
GO TO THE NEXT STORE> Dicks didn't have a huge selection to begin with.. so i absolutly couldn't care less about them not selling guns. i'll continue to support my local gun shops!

 

[TTravis]

I never did forgive Dick's for buying up Galyan's in Plainfield and closing it down.

Since when does 3 or 4 people encompass everyone?

 

[kalboy]

Dick's simply understand gun owners have short memories, thats all. Suspending AR sales didn't hurt Colt back when, how many people here still buy or would buy Colt ? Dicks will get a bunch of feel good from the libs in the press and when things quiet down, start selling ARs again, just like Colt.

The Castleton Dicks was originally a brand new store across 465 from the mall opened for less than 30 days. Dicks bought out Galyans, closed the new Dicks and re signed the Castleton Square store. Guess they were only interested in the Galyans mall locations and no competition. I miss Galyans
