Dick’s Sporting Goods took a few punches last quarter, with the Findlay retailer reporting a pullback on sales of hunting gear as well as a slowdown in demand for its Under Armour merchandise.

The retailer told analysts Wednesday it’s planning to remove virtually all hunting products from 10 of its more than 700 stores, although it didn’t indicate whether that policy would be expanded to include other locations. Affected stores weren’t identified.

There is a Dick's a half mile from my house. I drive by it every day on the way to and from work. I haven't been on there since they announced their policy on modern sporting rifles. It doesn't take a huge percentage of your clientele to do that before your in a while slump.

I have the same attitude toward them.  All email from them is marked spam and I care not one iota whether they have the best deals in town on any merchandise if they have outlawed weapons to safely protect you.
