Dick's on rt 22 in union would not sell me an EMPTY field box without answering questions about my citizenship!!!!! I refused to answer and had them call the manager who first tried to tell me that its the law because it is firearms related! I told him that is not the law and he was lying. After I prolonged back and forth he offed to give me the box for free and told me goodbye. I told him I don't want free stuff and refused to take it. I told him I want an answer as to why I am being asked those questions to buy an empty plastic box. I'll be calling him tomorrow. This is beyond ridiculous.

I'm going to guess that it was sku'd under firearms and he just didn't know the difference at first and that's why he said what he said. The store employees don't create the sku's so I'd call corporate office about it.

Ridiculous.

Absurd.

Sounds like the same stupid crap Sportsmans Guide pulls.

Will answering no cancel the sale?

Tried to call corporate they were closed ill call tomorrow. If the manager at dicks doesn't know the difference between firearms and an empty plastic box that's scary. I told him I could put ping pong balls in that box if I wanted. The label even said its perfect for small electronics and range finders. It is unacceptable to ask those questions for a perfectly legal item that ANYONE should be able to buy. I imagine if I had answered no to the questions they wouldn't sell it to me. Maybe I'll call the ACLU..... I can't believe I just said that!

that's a good question. Next time I buy ammo and that pops up at check out I'm going to "by accident"push no to see what happens:D

I will be answering "no " to those questions to see what happens.

on an unrelated note, i stopped at Cheyenne Outfitters today.. They had American Eagle 9mm anmo on the shelf, but were limiting customers to 1 box.. doh

 

for the original post, how f*ing retarded is that? you could put fishing gear in it if you wanted..

They have been asking that question for close to a year now.... East Brunswick doesn't even bother anymore and presses "Yes" for you, so I asked the MOD what would happen if I answer NO, according to her... nothing.

It is there to satisfy some corporate lawyer's idea of covering all the bases if a question of legal status, sales of firearms and accessories should arise in the future.

Guess where I will be visiting soon, that's right down the street from me. These guys are idiots over there, was the manager a guy going bald?wearing a hat?

 

Please let me know some info on what these clowns looked like, I would like to waste my time and bother them

There a bunch of idiots that work in the location... Never go there

Woodbridge is better, but they all suck!!

Well, this is almost good enough reason to go to a Dicks. Just to F with them. Bring up 5 or 6 boxes then refuse to answer question. Leave them at register and walk out. If 10-15 people do this they might get the point.

If I'm not mistaken, you don't have to be a citizen to have an FID card. So a citizenship question from DICKS would be irrelevant. I really want to mess with them.

You don't have to be a citizen to have an FID. When they asked me that for some ammo quite some time ago, I asked for the manager, explained to her that I don't appreciate them making up bs and they can have my business or my citizen status but not both. She just clicked a random button (I think she just picked one or the other) and didn't ask me again.

If one person does it they might think you are crazy, if 3 or 4 people do it they might think it's some kind of conspiracy, but if 20 people do it they might think it; some kind of movement...which it is....

 

Sorry, couldn't resist

If they won't sell you a legal, unregulated item based on your citizenship status I believe that would be discriminatory.

I'll be visiting a few more dick's to let them know how I feel about their BS You all should do the same, maybe put it all on YouTube.

 

Thanks for your support guys

good for you and I'd speak to corporate.

 

that is bs

got to remember to be more outraged when drilled for marketing stuff like you guys.

Dicks asked me for DOB today, didn't occur to me to refuse,but she got it down wrong anyway.

Probably for their marketing profile. Sucks. Too much info out there already. Ever see those

sites like peoplefinders.com ? You can stalk anybody you ever knew .

Just like the DHS checkpoints, no one should comply with any questions by anyone about your citizenship status(unless you are crossing the border or running for president). Or give out any personal info. Most importantly your SSN. Even at the DMV. If you would rather not be confrontational, give them a fake one. There is one use for an SSN, and it isn't for identification.

 

It is unbelievable what we have come to.

 

I was at the brick dicks and bought some shells. when at the register I was asked if citizen. I pressed no and my purchase went through fine. I told the young lady what I did and she laugh then I was on my way out the door.

 

I want to brick dicks again last Friday and picked up a sling for the 12 gauge and again it asked the question. I again pressed no to see what would happen this time and the purchase went through no problem.

 

I have been there before and have been asked this question and have answered yes in the pass. I don't think it makes a difference.

Life is too short. Pick your battles. Always take free stuff.

Why is this even a thread? Why the big deal? Click the dam button and leave. If your really worried about admitting you ARE a citizen we have bigger problems.

Its principle Ron... Little by little we give up more and more....

 

Look at the DHS checkpoints in Arizona. In an 80 mile stretch I stopped three times for a total of 45 minutes of traffic just to tell some agent that yes I am in fact a legal citizen within the bounds of this country and, as far as I know, am allowed to freely travel the country as I please. He gave me a jerk look and waved me along...

Sorry dude, it is an issue. It is none of their business and if we get accustomed to accepting intrusions in our lives by everyone from governments to merchants we will soon not own our lives anymore.

When they start asking your kids at school of you have guns, or the pediatrician asks, you bet then it be an issue. All this is on a very steep and slippery slope.

 

Look at where seat belt laws ended up.

Exactly, remember whan we were told "It will never be a primary offense"!

And Universal Background checks/registration/licensing will never lead to confiscation. The laws that protect our privacy (HIPPA)are trampled daily as they write new laws to remove our rights.

what exactly are you giving up by anonymously answering a question about citizenship... look I get it.. the question is stupid.. especially for a plastic box.. or a sling.. what happened is obvious.... someone in an office somewhere made the decision that the question had to be asked for any "firearms goods" so now it just pops up for everything... if you are really that furious about it.. call corporate .. if you are still completely disgusted that they insist on asking if you are a citizen of the US.. if that makes you over the top angry.. then shop somewhere else.. the people at the store level.. even the manager.. are just trying to earn a living... and they did not invent the ridiculous policies you are annoyed with..... I just never understood taking it out on people at the lowest level... these people have nothing to do with making OR changing the policies.... we are inconvenienced all the time.... I bet if you look real hard there are a ton of things you could get really mad about on a daily basis..
