doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com OT: Anybody here still shopping at Dick's?

liverwort, you make a very good point. Until such time as the present law might change for the worse, 18-20 years olds have the legal right to purchase a long gun.

I hope a bunch of them have the sense to get cell phone videos of Dick's refusing to allow them to exercise a Constitutional Right so they would have evidence for a possible Civil Rights and age discrimination suit.

But I still think that the teens who are willing to give up my gun rights should be willing to give up their privilege to drive and own cell phones, since doing so would save thousands more lives than banning AR-15's.

Having a FFL license, I ask the ATF agent that was checking my records whether I could refuse to sell an individual a gun. His reply was yes, if I didn't feel comfortable about the sale I could and should refuse the purchase.

My question had nothing to do with specific guns, but rather with certain people.
Whether his reply was legal I don't know, but he answered quickly so I guess that is their policy.

eYe thought Dicks went out of business....

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. I hope Dick's is hit with so many lawsuits that they have to close up shop. If they were the only place to buy ammo I'd use a slingshot.

Here is a 30 second legal analysis (not advice):

1. Civil rights suit - N/A If memory serves only applies when a government official under color of law violates an individual's civil rights. No bearing in a private transaction.

2. Age discrimination claim - most likely N/A as generally applies in an employment context. Also don't see that being relevant to the sale of a firearm or any other good.

3. Obligation to sell firearm - No obligation that I am aware of to sell anyone any good. They can assert breach of oral contract, I suppose and seek specific performance. Specific performance is only available when no adequate monetary remedy. Thus, likely damages are difference between FMV and cost to obtain replacement.

I haven't dedicated any thought to this more than the time it took type out.

Now Walmart has raised their minimum age for purchasing any firearm from them to 21, as well.

So, just how does this address mental illness?

buzz, how does the inability of businesses to refuse service come into play? Remember the old signs in restaurants, in the 50s and 60s, that stated "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." You don't see them anymore.

It doesn�t...it�s another knee jerk reaction, similar to what our President is doing.

Apparently, an affiliated/subsidiary company of Dicks, Field and Stream, never stopped selling ARs. The Dicks announcement is a calculated publicity stunt aimed at the anti-gunners. Nothing has changed.

I stopped going to Dicks after they swallowed up Gaylon's. One member claims that when Remington game loads are on sale there he gets 16ga at same price as 12ga. That is probably a good deal. Thankfully I can afford not to get good deals like that that is why I will not step foot into Dicks and will continue to be a member of NRA despite the fact that some companies are severing ties with them.

Dan one more, we also have the right to buy a transgender wedding cake.
