        I have only been in a couple stores, but there isn't much to their hunting section of the store. Wouldn't be surprised if they cut out that section altogether.

          I used to go, up until they started their new policies.

          I cannot imagine keeping their CEO with this idiotic policy if I held their shares of common stock. Their CEO readily admits that sales will indeed drop, but he does not care. He is a fool that will be the reason for their demise.

          Dick’s Sporting Goods has suffered a surprisingly steep downturn in sales since promising to sell fewer guns, but the problem isn’t the gun sales, Fortune says. Stock tumbled to the low…

                My son worked for them in Houston last year while he was attending UH.
                He said he has never seen employees treated so bad as that place treats them.

                The turnover amongst employees is huge.

                  Even if D I C K S goes belly up, the CEO will get a multi million dollar send off so he ain't worried!
