I was at the gun counter at Dicks in Woodbrige and had an interesting chat with the clerk. He told me the State Police came in and made them remove some guns from the shelves. To the best of my knowledge nothing was wrong with the guns he mentioned. The only one I remember off hand was removing a Benelli Shotgun because of a pistol grip. Which to my knowledge is fine. He said they also made them remove some rifles because of pistol grips but since I doubt dicks had rifles with collapsible stocks or bayonet lugs I didnt see the point.

 

I didnt think cops would go to a store and spot check the firearms esp a conservative place like dicks, but I did find it interesting.

Sounds like possible B.S. to me.

I have never seen a shot gun or rifle in any Dick's with a pistol grip ever.

Probably detectives from the firearms unit, not your regular road troopers. I heard of a Dick's selling a semi-auto shotgun with an 8 round capacity. I've seen one of those Axiom 10/22 stocks available for sale in Woodbridge. While not illegal in itself.. some schlub would bring it home and make himself an assault rifle inadvertently.

Sounded like BS but I dont trust anything in NJ.

sounds like BS, I doubt its BS. The way NJ is run....

One thing I saw was a Savage FCP10 combo that looked nice for $660. Problem is I dont know what model the gun actually is. It has an xp, but thats something Dicks adds because of the crappy tasco scope but depending what else it comes with it may not be a bad deal. Had an accutrigger but not accustock, fluted 24' barrel.

Gotta love $130,000/yr cops.... :doh:

The woodbridge Dick's is under a microscope since the stolen guns a few years ago by employees.

Was it that long ago, I thought it was more recent where they were stealing from Dicks and selling to another ffl.

2-4 yrs ago I believe. That is why they are still under the eye.

One interesting thing I learned is that they will order rifles for you. They had a price list there and the prices were very good.

THe problem is not Dicks, its NJ. DIcks up in NYS by Ithaca is awesome! they have tons o guns, ton o ammo, and NO WALKS OF SHAME!

I am going to go to dicks just to buy a gun and a balaclava and wear the balaclava as he walks me out on a warm summers day.
