It's hard for me to believe that a business can be this stupid. DESTROYING 5 Million dollars in assets?
Frankly I doubt it. Even for a "Virtue signaling" publicity move, it's hard to believe.

I stopped going in our local Dick's when they originally announced their anti-gun policy.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

The name of the store says it all! They are going under and trying to grab a rope before they sink!

They will be able to write off the expenses if they need them. If they unloaded some overpriced weapons that were not selling well for them due to other actions taken, they may be actually raising profits and helping the stock share owners. Businesses don't always make the decisions that some of us feel are correct then we are not doing their financials or their forward planning strategies either.
Bryce They didn't unload overpriced weapons, they destroyed $5 million in inventory. Like flushing $5,000,000 down the toilet. Big difference.

I wouldn't be even a little surprise if this was just a BS story to get more attention. And it worked. Yep, reeling in the libs to buy their other stuff.

But I also think it really hurt their business as many hunters just decided never to darken their door again. That's the reason the Field & Stream segment of stores basically folded soon after. They are trying to sell off some of the stores.
