A 17 yr. old can join our military forces, with the consent of a parent, and serve our country.............. an 18 yr. old without anyone's consent. If he is old enough to make a decision that can cost his life, in defense of us, he should be allowed the right to legally buy a firearm anyplace he chooses. SRH I have always considered that a disingenuous argument for all of the situations it has been applied to. I knew people in the military that I would not have trusted with Stan's slingshot and they were issued/carrying loaded weapons. It was sometimes a struggle but I always attempted to keep them from behind me. But, at least they walked to the plate and batted, even if it was no more than a bunt. That deserves some appreciation from the businesses they volunteered to stick their neck out for. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Hi, Stan
Well give them a 10% discount on a sling shot.

One of those wrist rockets with the black rubbers and a 1/2" ball bearing is bad news.

Stan,
I remember having one of those "wrist rockets" as a kid, devastating!

I haven't been in Dick's for about five years. The only things I remember buying from them were some camping supplies and a light for a bicycle. IMO big-box stores like Dick's and Walmart aren't good places to buy a gun anyway - small selection, usually low-end models and no knowledgeable sales people.
One thing's for sure, I won't be shopping there in the future. It was disgusting how they made such a big deal of their "decision" to stop selling AR-15s when they weren't selling them anyway. That little trick might gain them favorable publicity with some of the anti-gun crowd, but not with me.

Delta Airlines reneged on their commitment to reduce flight costs for those attending the NRA convention. As Atlanta's hometown major airline they were due to get a big tax break on fuel expenses this year in the GA legislature. They withheld the announcement until they thought the bill was a done deal. The gov is in favor but the senate has killed it. Corporate progressive-ism can be expensive...Geo

Has Dicks/Field&Stream said what they will do with the AR-15s they have in stock, since they announced they do not intend to sell them? Beat them into ploughshares?

SRH What you say could be the very reason a nutcase could be allowed to possess a problematic firearm. Tho many define their life by their military service I do not see that as defining their stability in any way whatsoever. Crazy people are crazy people and no matter how many old ladies they might walk across the street letting them buy a firearm might still be a mistake. And AFA Dick's - who cares? I never saw anything unique there

I would not throw out a whole bushel of good apples because I found one or two rotten ones on top. These "ANTI-GUN LIBERALS" are wanting to punish the law abiding because they know they won't reach those who are the problem. It makes them Feel Good & they can claim they are Doing Something, even though in reality they would have accomplished a Big Fat Zero toward preventing Crime in general or Mass shootings in particular.
