Same with Academy. The only guns they have at competitive prices are the junk ones, like roughrider revolvers.

Guns are still listed in classified ads under 'sporting goods'.


When I sold some handguns for an older friend that was going into a nursing home, I put them under 'sporting goods' section.

"Has it had an impact on the foot traffic and people who were upset with us on this? Yes," Stack said. "Has it impacted our profitability? No. We found ways to offset that.

Help me understand. Denying customers their Constitutional rights is "bowing down"?
