Exactly.  Why people still support them is beyond me.

Because a company is free to sell whatever they want to sell,  and you are free to buy your preferred goods at another establishment of your choice if you are unhappy with the type of service they provide.

Big 5 was a good outdoor product shop in WA. Don’t remember them selling firearms though.

Yup. One of the freedoms I enjoy.

Where did I say they weren't free to do what they want?  Of course they are.  But why would any 2A person give Dicks even a penny?  They are overpriced, have bailed on the 2A several times, have gouged existing customers when there are panics (Like Cheaper Than Dirt, but worse), and always has employees that don't have a clue about firearms working in the "firearm" section....if you can even call it that anymore.

Why even defend them dude?

Because the people salty about DSG are mad because they elected to not sell a product, which is their choice.

Everyone crying about DSG sound no different than the liberals crying about a cake not being made for gay couple. If you don't like what they offer,  then don't shop there. Not sure why they have to cater to your wants and needs.

And i defend them because 1) I defend their choice to sell whatever they want, as i thought this was America,  and 2) some of us are actually happy that a company is willing to fill the sporting goods vacuum that sports authority left. Not everyone cares that DSG won't sell you an AR or sells ammo and gear at the price you think it should be at, Because not everyone is shopping for firearm related merchandise.

Nope.  Liberals would try to ban a place they don't like.  I'm just saying that I have no idea why anyone would waste their money at a place that doesn't give a shit about the 2A, and has repeatedly raped their customers when their customers needed them the most.  If that's the kind of business you want to support, have at it, but I can't, and will always urge others not to.  I guess you are a far easier customer to please than I am.  I'll just continue buying better products from better places online or in person, and hopefully the bad practices at Dicks will eventually catch up with them.  It luckily is starting to in other states.

They did in Vegas and at the time, always seemed to have at least one Mosin Nagant 91/30 on sale.

I think I went to a Dick’s in Tukwila Washington.  It seems to be just like Sports Authority.

Everyday prices weren’t great....I think our lgs have the same prices.  Does Dicks have good sales on firearms/ammo?

SA rarely had sales on guns/ammo....I mainly remember  sales for birdshot

I don't recall sales for ammo at SA that really caught my attention.  As in the price was better than I could find in bulks sales at LGSs.  Yeah, like you said, maybe for birdshot. 

I bought my Rem 700 from SA because they could special order it and it was well below what LGS's could get it for.  Otherwise, I would have likely gone to a LGS if the pricing was about the same.

Value and fair price is determined by the individual purchasing the goods. If its worth their money,  they will buy it, or shop somewhere else if they don't.

You keep projecting your personal opinions and ideas  with regards to how things should be or what should be sold or how much things should cost, when it should be the company and individuals making the purchase who make that determination. I honestly don't care that you are butthurt that Dicks doesnt sell the firearms you want them to sell or prices aren't what you think they should be, because myself and others will make that determination ourselves, and if we feel its worth it, we'll spend our money there.

So rather than continuously blow up this thread with negativity about Dick's and how much you don't like them, simply don't shop there and point individuals towards better companies when they inquire for them.
