Not defending them,but Dicks business plan,which has been very successful on a regional to national expansion,is to play to the items which carry the best margins. UnderArmour, Croc's, Nike, and Garmin are good examples.Handguns for instance,are labor intensive,have different laws in different states and are very low margin and high capitol outlay.No need to put them on the shelves.Much better margins in the ammo,cases,and cleaning suppiles.
If you want handguns,used guns and somewhat knowledgeable sales people support the local gun shop.
