Dayton MAll
On Wednesday, the 10th, I went to the Mall with the kids to get some shorts for soccer at Dick's.
I got there around 8PM and we went in at the entrance next to Penny's. We went to the store and got what we needed and left.
I OC'd and nothing happened anywhere. I must say that the Mall was very empty the whole time I was there. I was surprised at the low number of people.

Re: Dayton MAll
The place started getting a bad reputation (mostly because of unruly teens) some years ago and according to friends who live up that way the mall never recovered. Besides there have been new, shinier malls built since then and many shoppers are fickle that way.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Dayton MAll
I can remember when it was packed all of the time and now it seems strange on how empty is is. I remember when the teens were making all kinds of problems for shoppers and how the shoppers left.
I would say that the Dayton Mall; will probably go the way that the Salem Mall did.
The Mall in Middletown is the same way.

Re: Dayton MAll
After Dick's made it clear they were for a semi-auto rifle ban after sandy hook, I will not step foot in that store. I will go out of my way to shop somewhere else for my sporting goods needs.

Field & Stream chose Dick's to open and run their stores.
Field & Stream had lots of .22lr ammo in stock last week.
This poses a bit of a dilemma for me.

Re: Dayton MAll
I had that same dilemma with Ruger for years because the founder decided to play along with the "high capacity" nonsense the feds laid on us. When he died and the son(s?) took over they eventually got back to selling standard capacity magazines for their products. It seemed like a good time to lift my personal boycott.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Field & Stream chose Dick's to open and run their stores.

Some folks remain angry with S&W over the 'Hilary hole' keylock feature they got pressured into adapting so as to play along and continue to get government purchase contracts. They too have eased up on that and you can get most of their firearms without the lock.
As to the Dick's/Field & Stream quandary, I got past it when the new F&S down here opened because they had .22 L.R. at non-ridiculous prices. By then my stock had run very low, to the point I couldn't spare enough to start out new shooters on my rimfire guns.

I look at it in that I'm helping out the people that are employed by dicks/field and stream. Helps me sleep at night. Nevertheless, I still only stop there as a last resort.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Field & Stream chose Dick's to open and run their stores.

I also have not spent a dime at a Dicks and I don't plan on it any time soon.

Re: Dayton MAll
I took some things back to Dick's and talked to the counter guy about ammo. He said that Dick's bought F&S. When the new store opens at Austin Landing that I might have some luck at getting some ammo.
