People don't stand on principle anymore. Dick's, CTD and a boatload of online vendors will never see a dime from me. That being said, even some of my local dealers that I've done thousands of dollars worth a business a month are on my list too.
The last time I handled a firearm at Dicks was about 8 months ago and it was an M&P 15-22. The guy behind the counter was pretty friendly, but seemed very young and ignorant of firearms.
This was the Greenwood location BTW.
I wish I could find a deal like the OP though lol.
Dicks is on my no visit list now. If we do not start standing up against businesses and goverments that will sell us out we deserve what we will get. Remember businesses can give a lot of money to support political candidates that may or may not agree with your views.
