Ammo alert

Here's the difference...

Wally world made a decision based on lots of factors, including political ones when they stopped carrying controversial ammo. It's not a decision I agree with, but that the one they made and it's their store, so their decision.

Dicks was 100% selling ARs when Sandy Hook went down. They had a special deal with Troy at the time that was very popular, and even backordered.

After SH they started beating their chest about how ARs were evil, and cancelled all AR orders, almost putting Troy out of business in the process. They pulled all ARs out of their stores and cancelled the Troy promotion while taking out full page ads about how they wouldn't be selling these 'killing machines' any more.

OK... Their store, they can choose to sell what they want. But this is when Dicks earned their name...

As we all know there was the biggest rush on ARs in history... Put the AWB rush to shame.

Suddenly all those ARs they were not selling were a major revenue loss. Nobody wanted bolt guns or lever actions, everyone wanted ARs and were willing to pay 2-3 time normal to get one.

Se less than 3 weeks after taking out full page ads in places like NYT and Wall St. Journal claiming they were removing 'assault weapons' from their stores, they brought them into their Field and Stream stores through the back door.

They sold them there, and then back at Dicks again although they were always 'behind the counter', never on display.

They kept this hypocritical BS up until an a-hole in Parkland FL bought an AR there and shot up his school with it.

So they made a big deal of 'destroying' the ARs they had in-stock, which according to their previous claims they would never stock again after Sandy Hook, and expected a pat on the back. According to their first pledge, after Sandy Hook, they shouldn't have had an AR to sell this killer in the first place.

Hypoctritical a-holes from start to finish. WalMart made a decision and stuck with it. Dicks crowed about how they were getting rid of 'assault weapons' and weren't they just good people all around... then went right on selling them because the money was too good. Including one to a mentally disturbed killer.

That's the difference between buying close out 5.56 at WalMart and dealing with raging scum like Dicks.

True but Walmart did make a stand so they can suck Dick’s too in my opinion

No difference - I’ll find mine elsewhere

I promise. I do remember all that. And we are on the same page. But I didnt make their decision.However, someone is going to reap the rewards for these anti 2a corporations to lose $ on something that possibly is going to the clearance bin anyhow.Or maybe not. I dont care and havent darkened the door of Dicks Since way before all that **** went down.But the point is someone is gonna get the deal regardless. Its just that some folks might not have the knads to kick the ODT hornets nest of all you guys that have plenty of cash. I got ammo. But I kinda look at Guns and ammo like Great Sex and money. I can always make room for more. Its been fun. And I hope we can all still be friends.

For the record, I don't have "plenty of cash", but I do buy ammo at vendors that don't want to butt **** the second amendment.

Was there the other day, they have several different caliber pistol target ammo of a few kinds but rifle ammo was limited to solely hunting rounds. Not gonna lie it did leave a bad taste in my mouth but as long as they continue to sell ammo and guns they're ok in my book. I can't say they've lost my business but It won't be my first place to shop.

What’s .556?

More than a 1/2" but not quite 9/16". It's simple math man c'mon!!!

139/250

Thank you for the heads up. I appreciate it.

Say what you will about field stream/dicks. But they are open and have a ton of ammo. All calibers. And normal prices. And reloading stuff.

139/250

I ain't never seen 1/250 on a tape measure before
You sir win the contest on how to measure the worlds smallest violin accurately

Never seen it on a tape either but you did say “do the math”

On a tape measure it’s a **** hair short of 9/16

There is a HUGE difference between what WalMart did and what Dick's did and I'm always amazed how any gun owner doesn't know the difference.
WalMart decided not to carry certain products. OK, fine. If that twisted your shorts then so be it. A lot of places don't carry everything I want.

I could care less if Dick's didn't carry certain guns or destroyed their own products. Stupid is one thing, but they went WAY beyond 'stupid'. Dicks' has spent millions to HIRE LOBBYISTS TO ENACT ANTI 2A LEGISLATION. That's not 'hyperbole' and it's not opinion. It is a fact that they are an anti 2A organization. Now if you are one of those in favor of "compromise" and "common sense" gun legislation "if it saves but one child" then they may JUST the place for you to spend your money. Go ahead and make a donation to Everytown or Gabby Giffords. Cut out the middle man.

Apparently some of ya'll don't understand the implications of that.
But then again, some of you would buy ammo from Bloomberg and Fienstein I guess if it was a 'deal' or you 'needed' it.
