SCREW Dicks! For a company who is against 2A, I wouldn't whore myself out for a few cents. I cancelled and shredded their credit card last spring But thanks for the thought!
Yup,and they have a 20% off for card holders through Monday... I bought a bunch-used the $10 survey coupon, the 20% off and walked out paying $35.78 (incl. tax) for ELEVEN boxes each transaction. Also got a $10 Remington/Dicks $10 off the next $100 purchase on the receipt.- will be down to near $3.00/box tomorrow when I go back!! Had the trunk of my Honda full! I hate their politics but love beating them up on the shell prices!! Paul in Virginia
No offense at all, I agree with Vhntr1, and I hope Trapshooter5 enjoyed his savings. But when the big box stores want to be P. C. and side with all these snowflakes and their huggy huggy causes, remember the local gun stores and local ammo dealers who ARE there for you and are shooting along side you. If I want 10 or 20 cases of a certain shell, I call my local supplier and get what I want, I don't have to go to 3 Dicks stores to get what I want. Rant over........
And, I appreciate it. I went in yesterday, the last day of the sale, and bought a whole bunch of cases of GunClubs. $4.98 a box and 20% discount for being in their "club." Also, ended up with a $100 cash credit to use for my next purchase. So, I paid less than 4 bucks a box. Works for me. Looked at some of their shotguns and hunting weapons for sale but nothing interesting for me. And, I didn't even notice the lack of military style weapons for sale. Didn't look for them. Regards, Jake
All you DICKS shoppers are basically Anti American, Anti second amendment, and spit in the face of anyone that fought for our freedoms...all to save a buck. Disgraceful.
Funny that one of my dear friends who split my purchase with me is an active duty Marine Major who served 3 active duty tours in the Middle East and earned a bronze star for his selfless and heroic work. He has seen more close friends killed than I can even imagine. He also is one of the biggest "gun nuts" I know and can flat out shoot a shotgun at trap, skeet, sporting clays and anything else you want to throw in the air. He also happens to be a hell of a shooter with an AR, a pistol or anything else you want him to shoot. I will have to inform him that you have declared him as "Anti American, Anti second amendment, and spit in the face of anyone that fought for our freedoms." I expect he doesn't feel that way. Thanks for your note Chooter.
Last thing I bought at Dick's was a couple SD cards I think. Most likely I overpaid. I buy all my "el cheapo" shot shells from Wal-Mart.
Do you know what a "commie" is Chooter? Please enlighten us with your deep knowledge of history and sociological and political science. Tell us how a "commie" system is formed and works. I doubt a "commie" it is a real decorated American hero who served his country, often in harm's way, for 22+ years, was wounded multiple times, lost dozens of friends who were defending this country and was constantly advanced by the USMC in rank and responsibility. And tell us about all your sacrifices for this Country.
I really don't like to argue with fellow gun owners, but not all Californians are left. JFYR, In 2016 presidential election, Trump got approx. 4.5 million votes in CA, that's more than some 4 states total population.
Gun Clubs were on sale last week at our local Dick's for $3.98. Yes, I bought 7 cases and probably should have bought more.
It is pretty funny how those who label all Californians as Communists and Socialists are the same types who have never even visited this state. I'm a Libertarian and have never supported the welfare system and I believe in self responsibility. But since I live in CA, that makes me a Communist Socialist right according to all the anti-CA crowd?
I packed up and moved from California when I retired. Most of the physical area of California is conservative. However, when you add the LA basin and San Francisco bay area in to the mix, California turns Liberal, just because of the population densities. Kind of like how Chicago controls Illinois politics or NYC controls New York. California has everything one could want in a state (mountains, weather, beaches, deserts, rivers, lakes, sports, the finest wine and agriculture areas in the world, etc..) Also the highest priced homes (avg. now over $600,000) taxes, minorities, regulations, traffic, crime, drugs homelessness, gun laws and other crap in the world. ERGO: That's why I moved. There are better places......
You would say that you Cali hippy It amazes me. We're anti America anti gun commies for buying shells from Dicks Sporting Goods. I buy whatevers cheap and goes bang so I can go shoot trap with my mom, my dad and the best damn chocolate lab in the world and afterwards, enjoy a refreshing watered down cold Busch Light pulled from a Yeti cooler. I don't have the time nor the money to do it as often as I wish I could. The only thing anti-American about that is we all shoot garbage Italian Perazzi's. You can't get much more American than that unless Toby Keith writes a song about it.
Let me say six things about Californica; 1.) Barack Obama (twice) 2.) Hillary Clinton 3.) Diane Feinstein 4.) Gavin Newsome 5.) Moonbeam 6.) Hollywood (the entirety)
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "Well Regulated" means that not all actions considered, "Gun Control" are automatically a violation of the Second Amendment. If that was so, there would be no ATFB, no background checks, or any other regulations pertaining to guns, period. We as individuals could buy any guns we wish, from anywhere in the world, no matter what the size or capability. Obviously, that is not so. We could have anti-aircraft guns mounted in our back yard to protect from Government invasion. Carry around RPG's, and fully automatic weapons on the street for protection against all evil. Kind of third world so to speak. This is the way I see it. Seems to me that the anti - American accusing crowd is in fact the most anti - American faction in this country. Some things they stand for, and in fact say, participate in through radical groups, and believe in politically, are anti - American. They even consider themselves Patriots. Which I consider an insult to the military that defends the rights of every individual American in this country, no matter what they believe in, what they look like, what their religious beliefs are if any, who they are, or what they are, or even what they think. That is the freedom they defend and insure, not just yours. Now, let's look at Dick's Sporting Goods. They decided on their own basis of true capitalism to raise the age of buyers of guns, and stop selling AR's and military designed weapons ( Remember that there was a ban on the sale of such weapons before, and deemed Constitutional). They still sell many different types of guns, and ammunition. As far as their age factor, how is it different than a business owner that uses religious beliefs to not render services to an individual? If that is their right as a business, then why would it not be a right for another business to change their practices based on their beliefs. Is it just the beliefs, that are the difference. That seems hypocritical. Also, why did most states raise the legal drinking age to 21 from 18? If I am not mistaken, individuals under the age of 21 by Federal Law are not allowed to purchase handguns or ammunition from FFL dealers in this country! States are allowed to also change age restrictions for purchases/possession of any firearm/ammunition, or require special certificates of training. Let's look at it this way. If Dick's still sells all different kinds of guns, and AMMUNITION at discount pricing so that more people can enjoy the shooting sports, more often, who benefits from this? Club's possibly? If target shotshells/shells are discounted to the point of a dollar a box or more, don't the shooters themselves benefit by gaining an extra round basically free every four or five rounds of 25. Do the clubs/ranges then benefit, because that extra round may be shot due to the fact that the savings on shells allowed for that possible extra practice round, or very possibly a new young shooter with limited parental funds. Hardly a anti - gun store, or even anti - Second Amendment, IMO. The President of the company that made these decisions is a gun advocate, and trap shooter himself. The company contributes many millions of dollars to the youth sports organizations around this country, and communities. Maybe why the school shootings promoted these decisions. That and statistics. Simple facts of the age groups of individuals that tend to commit school assaults with a gun. It basically comes down to this, money, politics, and votes. Narcissistic radicals and extremists need you to believe what they believe, and will commonly use their beliefs to render the anti - American, anti - gun, anti - Second Amendment BS. Some even to the extreme point of fascism. They often support suppression or diminishing of others rights, while defending theirs. Also the common use of the misnomered word, "Patriot". That to me is, Un - American! Of course, it is still everyone's right as an American to think, and basically say what they want about others, or themselves for that matter. That does not make you any more American than any other American however. All rights of every American are important to maintain, and insure that they never are infringed upon. Civil rights included, and not just the Bill of rights. There is no me, myself and I when it comes to the rights of all Americans and the Constitution. That is what a true "Patriot" defends, without political agenda, period.
I didn't forget anything. Robert Redford is a two faced, gaping liberal. Commiefornica is perfect for him. Tiger lives in Florida and has for a long time. Tom Brady lives in a $14 million dollar NY apartment. Van Halen lives in his mother's basement, along with an entire generation of losers. Eastwood can live anywhere he wants.
All these arguments among fellow gun owners over my post of sharing an ammo sale ad. for everyone to save a few dollars so we can shoot more.
When it comes to trapshooting websites, there's an old expression that goes something like this:"It's gonna be a long winter." Thank the Good Lord for Hunting Season. The boys are smoking some great big whitetails buck back home right now.
Atleast were allowed to talk about it here. I know of a trapshooter forum (wink, wink) were such topics are censored
Wow Flyer. Very well thought out, evaluated and said. You are a Patriot in my book. I expect it will drop with a thud to many here and would probably get you red badge/banned for life in another forum. I truly believe that the rabid, alt.right crowd will end up losing us all our guns. (Every mass shooting takes us closer and they are obviously not going to stop as things sit now.) Interesting in you post is the reference, "Remember that there was a ban on the sale of such weapons before, and deemed Constitutional." What many don't seem to remember was that that ban was put in place in the late 1960s when the civil rights movement spawned the radical black power groups. The Black Panthers and other similar groups acquired and took pictures of themselves with military style weapons. (Many might remember the famous picture of Patti Hearst after her kidnapping and brain washing.) When that shocked the mainstream, the NRA stood aside and quietly supported the banning of military style weapons. A ban, which you correctly point out, that was upheld by the Supreme Court. For what its worth, I have visited a few gun shows in the last few years and about all they sell are military style weapons and gear. I have seen more than a few groups of folks buying those guns and many, many thousands of rounds of ammunition who look to be the same demographic as the folks that our President has put in his "travel ban." And they talk to each other in languages I don't understand but which are clearly Arabic, Pashto, Dari, Farsi or Urdu. So, how do the rabid no rule against any kind of weapon crowd feel about that? Regards, Jake
That's the Nazi site with a (Dirty Harry wannabe) guy inventing new rules and banning members with his self inflated authority (probably the only one he had in his life). I think he's the reason why there're many new sites started. ;-)
The only reason I stayed on that site after that Dirty Harry wannabe banned me the second time by mistake, was because another real trapshooter mod (went above and beyond) came to rescue and set the record straight, I owe him for that.
I have not found a trip to Dick's to be worthwhile. After their stance on semi-autos I guess I never will.
