As Paul Revere said, "Old news here".
A few months ago, a buddy and me stopped in there to check out hand guns for comparison shopping. Guess what, no handguns, no rifles, no ammo. No sh!t, not a single bullet. All they had were air rifles and paint-ball guns. The guy behind the counter said they stopped selling them because they weren't profitable. I told him that it was absolute BS and it was purely policatically motivated. He agreed, but that's not the "official store response".
They still carried cases and cleaning supplies, but that day I decided to not purchase any even though I needed some.
Like it or not, it is their choice to run their business as they see fit. Likewise, it is our choice to patronize their store or not. I chose not to. Sports & Recreation (aka Jumbo Sports) get's my business now. I try to go to my local gun shop whenever possible. Most times, if I tell them that S&R has something at such and such price, they'll either match it or come close. If it helps to keep a company in business that's dedicated to the "Gun Culture", then a few extra bucks is worth it.
