and It Begins... 20-year-old sues Dick’s, Walmart over new Sales policies

Although I find today's litigious society over the top, I hope he prevails to the point that Dicks and Walmart actually get hurt...50% of their annual profits would work. Make examples of them both!

 

Agreed, this should prove to be very interesting case.

 

I sense a patented Legislative Emergency about to happen in Oregon. Predict much stricter regulations than a buying age of 21. The gun grabbers in the Oregon Legislature now have a super majority with a few key Republican defections and can do whatever they want.

I expect this will go against Mr. Watson as we have seen court bias as a given and guarantee juries will be packed with MDA members. I don't see the 9th circuit court siding with him either, so the only way he can win is through the Supreme Court. By that time he will be 21, but there will be no useful guns he can purchase in Oregon.

 

Kid needs to file a class action suit, go after the VP and the CEO! They are the ones who do all these things, time they felt it personally! Kowing Dicks as I do, these things always come down from Corp. And store managers are spineless whimps who follow orders because of the $100,000 a year +bonuses they get!

 

If they want to sell to 21 and up then they should change the law.

The drinking age in other parts of the world is under 21 and they do just fine.

 

Dicks has another issue, one that I have pointed out to the lawyers privately, they have a serious man hater P.N.W. district manager who was a former corprate manager for Nike world, who was "Let go" under less then stellar reasons. She is the one who likely took the ball and ran with it and instructed her store managers to comply! I also know She was the one to pull the AR rifles before Corp. made it offical, and she got into some trouble with a 2nd group for that, I know, I was one of the former emoyees involved that the group questioned about it! There are also ongoing labor disputes that I cannot comment on, but they are pretty big! Time for them to burn!

 

I guess I am going against the grain here but I will bet that the court rules Dick's has the right to sell or not sell guns to whomever.

Now, having said that, IF that is the court's ruling then I hope that the Christian couple in Portland, that refused to sell a cake to the gay couple, take the County and the State to court for $10+ million in damages because the court has just opened the State and Local government to damages.

On the other hand, if the Court states Dick's is in the wrong and they must sell and/or be sued for discrimination then the kid gets his gun.

My point here is they cannot have a double standard...and no matter what the court rules - well - they have painted themselves into a corner because of their ridiculous previous rulings. This will be an interesting case and worth following. They will either have to reverse themselves, eat crow, which they won't do, or give grounds for suits against State and Local government. LOL!!!! I wouldn't settle for less than $5M LOL!!!

 

Have been monitoring the gun groups down here and Dicks, along with Bi Mart and Walmart are taking a lot of heat. The appropriately named Dicks is getting the brunt of it with most people saying they will never shop there again. Bi Mart is small enough that they can be ignored, but the Walmart superstores are hard to stay out of because of the lack of other low priced shopping.

Have not made it into Dicks yet and have a rewards card with credit on it. Going to go in and use my credit, since it is using their money, then ask to see the manager and hand over my card letting them know I will never be back.

 

The real issue with Bimart is the anti gun stance they have taken. I have always shopped them, especially for deals on ammo, but if they were a part of this dustup, I'm not supporting them, and my sales receipts with them would convince them of the ill way they are heading! Sad really, I always liked Bimart!

 

Better to go after the big stores if you want a chance to have it in the news, but will not be holding my breath that lamestream will do any more then maybe mention it. Almost guaranteed the lawyer does not give a shit and is looking at the dollar signs.

 

Oh...one of those useless snow flake milleniels i keep hearing about in this forum suing Dick's and Walmart? ....oh that is terrible...I guess he'll be demanding a 2A safe zone where he will be safe from gun control advocacy next....LMFAO.

 

I don't know a great deal about laws and litigation, but wouldn't be better to sue the company with shallowest pockets first. Win against them, Get a precedent set. Then sue in order of size, smaller to larger.

 

They can refuse to sell him a rifle because he is wearing a green shirt. Or blue. I don't see this going very far.

 

Do we know exacty which stores this went down in? I see region, but not specific location! Reason I ask, I may actually s know the players in this, and that could be pretty useful info to have!
