It will stop advertising assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, but will still sell them.

Then why would we buy them from them. Traitors.

Who cares if they advertise them. Lots of small shops don't advertise at all. Stop shopping there,they stop selling and there is one less outlet to buy from. An advertisement does not a gun shop make.

I care. That is who cares. So they are willing to sell them but in essence just as that merchandise that they don't want to make it widely known that they sell it? Sounds like delegitimizing it to me.

Ehh, this is enough for me to add to the boycott list. Not a huge deal, but plenty.

Sure isn’t going to stop me from shopping at fleet farm. Where else am I going to get my beef jerky, dog rawhide retriever rolls, and sexy camouflage thong panties for my wife all in one place?

Seriously though....I buy most of my ammo there. I’m not going to stop shopping there just because they choose not to advertise “evil black rifles.” Haven’t bought those there anyways.

Groceries? Not hardly. Lumber, maybe a pitiful amount, dog food only if you feed the cheap crap, tools some, hardware some, hunting clothes the basics, fishing gear ok I will give you that one.

Convenient. Good prices. Good customer service. Good selection.

Far drive, ok prices but not great, poor customer service, very little selection, anti-gun policies...

Just stopped in there. It was on my way, I knew exactly what I wanted and where it was, I don’t rely on others to help me, got a free car wash for future use.

My Dad taught me that if you walk around life and come to the conclusion that everything and everyone sucks, you should look in the mirror and have a talk with the one person who has the power to change all that.

Shop at Fleet farm if you want, but don't tell me where to spend my money unless you are handing it out.

Honestly, they are not that great of a store when it comes to gun stuff. Better than dicks for sure but that is not saying much.

And how the heck am I supposed to change fleet farm? I don't hold any shares or work there.
