    I love academy, but if they go the route dick’s did and sale all the hunting stuff buy 1 get 3 free. I will be in there like a fat woman at Walmart on Black Friday

    It would seem like there would be something in the news about that. I searched Google and Duckduckgo and got no results on anything to do with that.

    I have time to burn before a 7:30 HS game tonight. I guess I'll swing by Sandhills and see what's up.

    Ever been to PSA with the Tommy Tactikool crowd? 5’7”, 300# in 511 gear, beards, Glock hats etc. I didn’t realize there were so many operators around. Nothing against PSA but it’s an amusing place to people watch.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Academy has nothing on PSA. I fucked up at PSA and told em I was living at xyz but my license had old address. Gooberslobbin behind counter went and got manager and I was informed they had to shut down the sale.

    I can't imagine myself ever having to buy another gun, if I do, it won't be in a store. I haven't left a gun counter with a warm feeling after talking to a sales associate

    Its probably the litigation side. They can't change the law so they'll bankrupt the manufacturer and retail stores. Same game they play with their political opponents. Break em.

    ATF has gotten ridiculously picky on gun purchase forms and will yank your FFL in a skinny minute for misspelled words or similar minor mistakes. If they accepted one with a bogus address, they'd be at big risk.

    Except PSA actually cares about the 2nd amendment. Their whole business model revolves around putting American made firearms in the hands of Americans.

    But muh chinese Stanley mugs!! Muh chinese sweat shop nikes! Muh game winner knock off boots!!

    FUCK academy sports. It's was just a matter of time they became the next sports authority. The next dicks....

    They don't care about you. They care about their bottom fucking line. Stand in line for 45 min to buy your $45 worth of chinese bullshit. Come back for more next payday.

    I've recently bought a gun at academy and psa. I had a much better experience at academy most of the associates at psa have an attitude which gives me an attitude.
    Also the gun purchased at psa was shown in stock. The associate said it was in stock at the warehouse so that meant 20 more bucks for shipping and another hour ride to Columbia. If it hadn't been for the gun being $100 off and coming back to Columbia to see Dwight Yoakum I would have gone back to academy.
