svt3183 14 Posted August 31, 2013 I'm at the ammo counter at Dicks today and an employees says "sorry, we can't sell ammo today." So I ask why and he says "no one working has a license to sell ammo." WHAT? Is this a real thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coldsolderjoint 84 Posted August 31, 2013 I believe you need a NJSP "pink card" to sell guns an ammo as an employee of an FFL. maybe everyone called out sick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield1911 22 Posted August 31, 2013 This has happened many times to me in the past. Not surprised but those people get paid minimum wage so I wouldn't expect them to be reliable especially on a holiday weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt diver 0 Posted August 31, 2013 Yes, happened to me at the east brunswick store on a Sunday. "Sorry, no one in the store today has an Ammo card". They were nicely stocked. Bummed. Went back later that week and all gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted August 31, 2013 That's Dicks fault..not NJ law. They should always have somebody available to sell ammo. If its not someone in that section then all store managers should have a pink card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steely 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Had the same experience yesterday evening at their Cherry Hill store. Was told the guy with the pink card just left (5:30 PM), and that no one else in the store was legally able to sell me ammo. The manager told me that they were waiting for state approval (pink cards for some of their new employees). Evidently they had some employee turnover. I got the guy to put a box aside for me so I can pick it up on Monday, when I am heading that way again. First time this ever happened to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cbrrmike 0 Posted September 1, 2013 I used to work at one, and the store manager, assistant manager, and at least half the department managers are supposed to have them. As well as anyone working in the hunting department that's of age to do so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachwhistle 28 Posted September 1, 2013 At least they can now sell more than 1 box of ammo. It's up to 3 of each caliber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5th4x4 0 Posted September 1, 2013 it's called a " t " .... use it. The Grammar Nazi called. He said it's apostrophe + t.... and to please turn in your Spelling Police badge immediately. As for the topic.... Does Dicks sell only the ammo that applies to the rifles that they sell there, or do they also stock 5.56 there too? Although maybe I should be more store-specific, since on a recent visit to the Paramus store I didn't really notice any rifles that shoot 5.56 there (then again, I wasn't there for rifle gear, so I only did a quick drive-by past the gun counter). Anyone know about the Paramus store specifically? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know about the Paramus store specifically? If they only sold ammo for what they sell it would just be .22LR &12ga. May be a slight exaggeration but not by much. Gun selection is awful. Have seen some strange ammo for sale at the one by me. For example .30cal M1 carbine ammo, LOL. Buyers are really in tune with the state that their store is in...not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scatterbrains 0 Posted September 2, 2013 Another reason NOT to buy from DICKS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixtytwo327 14 Posted September 3, 2013 I just picked up 1,500 rounds of .22LR from Dicks for $24 per. 500. If you talk to the kids in the firearms department, some are apathetic ("It's just a job") but many are hunters and shooters, and have some good industry gossip. So, #1 yes, it's a real thing, and #2, everyone please keep boycotting Dicks because have some good deals these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
