Another reason to hate Dick's

[DarkRyu]

So I stopped by to check out a few things on sale and saw this sign near the ammo section. Asked the guy behind the counter whats that all about, looks like new corporate rule... sucks for the 19 year old with an FID card that just got a 22 rifle for Christmas. I was told since the 22 fits handguns and rifles they had to change it to 21.

 

[Oldarmy]

It's ma. are you really surprised ?

 

[mikeyp]

I was at the Dick's in Plymouth and didn't see that there

 

[drgrant]

It's ma. are you really surprised ?

This isn't an "MA thing" it's dicks being too ****ing lazy to properly instruct its employees on the federal requirements for selling ammunition to minors, which aren't
very complicated.

Would never buy anything there anyways, the ammo they have is usually shit, and without discounts or other special stuff, the price is usually shit, too.

[jaypap]

For the umpteenth time there is a reason they don't call it Richards.

 

[Lank]

I have been playing back forth with their corp customer service about what they really do with my ammo purchase info.

Under 21 is a minor now?

 

[92G]

i won't set foot in that shitty store. i would rather go shop at joann fabrics

 

[Retired-LEO]

My 15 year old has his FID, I'll just continue to buy his ammo.

Dick's does suck!

Start a thread when you find out. I called and asked them what thats all about and they (2 different customer service reps at Dick's) couldn't give me an answer.

 

[slugworth]

This guy had some issues as well!!!

This is like the tenth post about "Dick's sucks" you would think someone would bring up BJ's...........

 

[Tarsook]

Professional company, apologize spelled incorrectly.

They always come in hot @ Dick's.

 

[LoginName]

Think they used enough packing tape on that sign?

Look like they might have ****ed up spelling "caliber" too, and taped over it with the correct spelling.

 

[Gillham]

BOYCOTT EVERYTHING

 

[Almostelmo]

They also check your ID for airsoft bb's.

 

[MSant]

I had the try to figure oit if .22 was pistol or rifle, I showed them on the box .22 long RIFLE

 

[S&WMan]

Geniuses .22LR is the only ammo that can be used in rifles and handguns
I wouldn't give them my personal info if they were giving ammo away. I'd much rather support my LGS

Easy one, they send it directly to Healey

 

[RHJJ]

Haven't been in one of their stores in years and see no reason to go now.

 

[mikem317]

Same here. Think I last stepped inside one when I got a gift card and made sure I didn't go over that limit.

The store sucks.

 

[fencer]

Prices at WalMart are better any way.

 

[scheming]

My experience at dicks in Dedham has been pretty good so far. When their ammo is on sale it's the cheapest in the area for me and they only take my DOB at the register.

My only bad experience was at the one in Scarborough, ME when the useless teen manning the gun counter couldn't ply his ugly mug from his phone.

 

[ISOTOX]

World is full of choices, Some good some bad. I would not loose sleep over Dicks or any other store.

More vagueness and bad ENGRISH......
Dear *&#&q,



Thank you for the email ^&&#. The reason the store wanted to make recorded of the LTC is because, we require identification from each customer who attempts to purchase ammunition, regardless of the appearance of the individual, to provide consistency in each transaction. Our verification process is to ensure compliance with federal and state law.

Under 21 is a minor now?

Federal law prohibits federal firearms licensees from selling firearms or ammunition to people under 21 but makes an exemptions for rifles and shotguns and ammunition for rifles and shotguns. ATF has interpreted the law to not prohibit dual use ammunition from being sold to people between 18-20 (by licensees), if the purchaser intends to use the ammunition in a rifle or shotgun. Since passage of the gun control act, a number of major department stores with FFLs have successfully defended themselves from claims rising from the sale of dual use ammunition to 18-20 year olds- based on the "Is this for a handgun?". Unfortunately, defending against those claims is expensive and can be avoided by not selling dual use ammunition to 18-20 year olds.

 

[Mr.E]

Did anyone else think this was going to be a pro lesbian thread??

This is not new.... K mart had this policy 20+ years ago. They would sell it to me if I showed the receipt for my 10/22 rifle.

18-20.99yr doesn't make someone a minor.
