They also have a surefire 100rd'rs at $289, and a case of loose 855 for $900.

I'm never spending money with them again.


This is their MO, they have done it many times before!

I don't know if you have heard but Cerberus is selling off their gun manufactures under the Freedom Group umbrella.

Yes, but not the current incarnations of them.

If CTD falls under new management, with good business practice and support for the 2nd Amendment, I could someday return to them.

If Dick's sporting goods comes under new management that makes positive changes, I'd consider them someday.

Under their current management? Never.

Dick’s Sporting Goods is making some changes to their stores in the wake of last week’s tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The retailer is pulling certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles off its shelves nationwide. Dick’s says it will also be removing all guns from its stores nearest to Newtown, Connecticut.

J&G Sales' facebook page just posted the following a couple of minutes ago:

"We will not be open until 10:00 am on Wednesday Dec 19th, sorry for the inconvenience."

Granted, that's not a huge gap - But in light of the other sites/issues - It would make a person wonder...
