Dicks sports in Lincoln
ILoveCats:
Those are good tips on the Gun Club sales and price matching. Thank you.

Well I spend all my disposable income on hunting, shooting and fishing stuff, books, and the occasional top-shelf bottle 'o gin. But I still have socks and underwear from the 1980s, so this explains why I usually can't stand to go in the places. Shopping malls make me nauseous.

It does appear from numerous articles that Dick's response was indeed to Sandy Hook.
I have not shopped there since they took a political anti-2nd amendment stance.
I used to spend lots of my money on non-firearm related goods there but no more.

To think that their decision to not stock THE most popular rifle in America is anything but political defies reason. If you'll excuse me, I've got some bacon to go shoot out of the sky.
StuartJ:
Lincoln's Scheels is in a maul that is otherwise a gun free zone. So its clearly possible for a store to get around the maul's rules. Though the signs are not exactly obvious. I work at Office Depot at South Pointe and I didn't know the maul didn't allow guns, thought that was just an Office Depot thing, until I read here that the maul had signs. You actually have to look for them. I found one of them.

There is constantly being made the claim that Dicks will not sell AR's, that is not entirely correct. They do not stock AR's at their Dick's locations but will special order them for people. This was made as a business decision before Sandy Hook though it has been publicized as a reaction to it. Much like most Dick's locations do not sell handguns (some do but none in this area), this is not based upon anything to do with politics but more to do with where the stores are and what staffing they have for the Firearms area. Dicks owns Field and Stream and they carry in stock AR's and handguns at those locations, why because there they have full time firearms staffing and the businesses are located in the south and are stand alone locations, unlike the Dick's stores which have a high occurrence in the North Eastern part of the country and are associated with Malls if not attached to them and have done this at the behest of their property managers (they rent their facilities from the mall). That combined with a business plan that does not allow for there to be at least one person behind their gun counter at all times makes it where for security reasons they made the decision to limit what they actively carry in stock.

--- Quote ---Dick's Sporting Goods, which operates more than 500 stores in 44 states, did not indicate when the stores would resume selling the guns. The company released the following statement:
"We are extremely saddened by the unspeakable tragedy that occurred last week in Newtown, CT, and our hearts go out to the victims and their families, and to the entire community.
"Out of respect for the victims and their families, during this time of national mourning we have removed all guns from sale and from display in our store nearest to Newtown and suspended the sale of modern sporting rifles in all of our stores chainwide.
"We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible tragedy. "
