    Way to push the general public view about gun owners.



    Have you called Troy to ask?
    Do you know what Troy is currently working on in getting the rifles out?
    Do you know what contract they have with Dicks, or if they are even allowed to pursue other distribution methods in any reasonable amount of time based on their contract?

    Or did you just start your postings with "whats going on", then jump straight to the "sue, post FB pages protesting", and start complaining about how Troy isnt doing anything - on the day before christmas, the same day people are finding out about Dicks decision?

    Lets be clear - if I were in your shoes, I would be upset - but I see no reason to jump on the MFG unless you know it is their fault. At this point it is 100% on Dicks, so chill out a bit, think rationally, and quit whining about all the ways you can sue, and focus on what needs to be done. Good luck in getting your rifle.

    And Merry Christmas to you too! Hopefully better news about this is on the way for all affected.
    Jeez even after another member chimed in and requested that everyone take sometime and chill, you jump right in again with the same name calling and personal attacks... Because I'm the only one here or on the internet for that matter who's expressed disappoint and an interest in taking action. Ok, tell you what, I will give you the well deserved pacifier you have earned, bow to you're superiority and thank you for setting me straight... Oh and please feel free to respond once again and have the all mighty last word as you so clearly need.

    Mod's no need to lock the thread, I will not be responding to any more of this individuals post, as other members requested I too would like to keep on topic and find a resolution to this situation...

    We contacted every single person who preordered on Black Friday as soon as we got the word the orders were cancelled. As a fellow gun owner I understand everyones frustration but do not call and raise hell to the stores, call the corporate office to sound off. The people at the stores who answer you on the phone are just trying to make a living, all your doing is ruining their day. This was a corporate decision...if you want to play the blame game there is your answer.

    Furthermore your buying a AR15 from a sporting goods store that specializes in clothes, shoes, and treadmills; it is the smallest section and there are no handguns period. Are you really that surprised shit like this happens?

    I feel your pain guys who are not getting your rifles. A friend and I bought ours from Dicks on the Wednesday before Black Friday. The first told us they had one left and could order another, then the manager came out while were deciding what to do and told us he just got an email about backorders. He said he could sell us the display model, so my friend and I each got our Troys that night. The manager said the email indicated that backorders were not going to be 6-8 days, but rather 10-12 weeks and corporate was considering changing the rifle offered to another "like kind". Apparently all the ones they bought from Troy for the deal were sold.

    For those wondering about the deal between the two companies, Dicks and Troy, most likely what happened is Dicks purchased a certain amount, then sold them. They then assumed they could order more. In the meantime, some psycho goes and shoots up a school and Dicks decides to implement their own gun control policy. Dicks sucks for not honoring their orders, but it is their choice. Their ad clearly said "while supplies last." They should never have offered to backorder in the first place, that was just dumb.

    Saying they owe you money since the price of AR's has gone up is just plain stupid. Threatening a class action lawsuit? Really? Expecting them to reimburse you because you bought $500 worth of accessories and ammo??? Take your money, wait, and buy another AR. I know it sucks you can't find any right now, but that is not Dicks fault, or Troys....it's all the panicked buyers fault. Protest Dicks, I know I would. Heck I would probably rip up the $100 gift certificate they sent me, and mail it to the CEO with a note that says "F*CK OFF!"

    Well I'm not sure where I sit right now- the store I ordered from still says the gun should be in the beginning of January and that was as of yesterday and today when I called. I also did not receive the refund check yet. I'm still holding my breath but doubt ill get my Troy.

    I got my letter from Dick's along with my $100 gift card. I plan on using it then send corporate an email stating I will never do business with them again.

    I plan on doing business with Troy again. If they decide to do us right, I'll be impressed but I don't expect it.

    Guys, if you really plan on pushing this issue through the legal route, do not use the $ 100 gift card. If you do, it implies that you accepted the remedy for the situation.

    Keep the gift card. This would help your case if you really want the rifle as a remedy.

    There is no legal remedy. The best you can hope for in a case is to be made whole. Being refunded and given a hundred bucks extra is more than making you whole. No unjust enrichment.

    Why blame Troy? Doesn't seem like it is anything they did. They don't owe us anything.

    The situation sucks but life isn't always fair. I got one rifle but was still backordered for a second. Dicks made a decision I hate, but they don't owe us more than refunding our money in the legal sense.

    Dang.. When that add came out I told everyone I knew to go and order one ASAP. I'm more than a little ashamed now. There will be no legal remedy for those that ordered one and I hate that. Dicks should have honored all orders that were placed, but they chose not too. If they did that to me, I would never buy another thing from Dicks and I would complain to corporate. I'm boycotting them as well, but I ain't taking anything back.

    Most people on this forum support the idea that a company can choose to hire/fire you as they see fit. Well they can also choose to not honor your order for an AR. That's just the way it is. Try and look at it that way and do business with someone else.. I will.. JMO.. Ron
