I still not going to buy anything from Dick’s.

I’m not falling for their weasel scam, trying to have their cake and eat it, too.
They’re deader to me than Marco Rubio.

Is anybody buying them from Dicks?

Report gets -10 points for the “Bushmaster, the rifle used in Newtown” reference.
As if a Bushmaster is somehow more dangerous than a Colt, or as if Bushmaster markets to (parents of) crazy people?

But since they really are Dicks I don’t buy anything there.

I stopped shopping there years ago. In my local store, the Hunting/Firearms Dept was serially understaffed. And when you actually got to talk to someone, they were either clueless or their attitude lived up to the store name. I even went so far as to complain to their customer service dept and again talked to someone who lived up to the store name. Thus my family and I no longer inconvenience them with our money.
Also, a Cabela’s moved in next door this year. I’m not sure if I would shop a Dick’s, “going out of business” sale, or not.

Local Dicks keeps ammo locked behind the counter in cabinets so you can’t see it.
It is apparently a major problem for a clerk to tell a customer what brands, bullet weights and prices they have in any given caliber, as it has been a chore performed with obvious distaste and lack of information when I have tried to buy some ammo there.
I’ll stick with my local Academy Sporting Goods stores, where the ammo boxes are on shelves that one can actually see and read, without involving a petulant customer disservice person. Not that Academy has those – the gun counter guys and gals are all apparently gunnies themselves and have been uniformly helpful when I look at the selection of ammo or firearms.
