Would it make you feel better to know that boycotts don't really work?

No, Homeschool, from Think Tank, it would not.

Academy Sports & recent events

I've not bought any gun related stuff from them in awhile. But there are still fishing needs to be met. We have one local place that's decent but it's not the best variety. So that leaves Academy and dicks.

And dicks is, well, dicks.

Thankfully we have Bass Pro.

Meh. I just hope they don't ruin Cabela's ammo department.

FYI, the Academy near me has put the AR15 rifles back on display.  The clerk told me it was a couple weeks ago. 

They were selling off some Red Army Standard AK ammo for $4.11 per 20.  I thought that was decent.

I stopped by my local Academy Sports  last week,  and they too had their AR 15s/M4s  back on the racks.

Don't think the Academy near me ever stopped selling AR15s.

I'm not sure they actually stopped selling them, they just didn't put them out for display.

Correct.  You could ask about them and they would pull them out to look at them.  They just were not up on the display rack.  It really was a completely empty gesture.
