I went to the Dick's Sporting Goods in Lynnhaven Mall in Va Beach to buy my 11 year old son a .22 Rifle for his birthday tonight. I was informed that Military has to provide FOUR forms of ID. The young man working the counter was very polite about it but I asked him why the fourth form. I had my out of state drivers license, Military ID and Military Orders which is all state law requires. He told me he thought it was store policy but that he would call the manager to verify. I am still very polite and so is he.
When the manager gets to the counter the manager is very sort with me and tells me that I have to have a fourth form of ID with a local address. I have none (other than the required military orders) and I asked him what that policy was based on. He replied "Based on Dick's Sporting Goods" :banghead: At that point I remained politely told him I would take my business to a place that honors state law.
I also managed to convince a young sailor who was considering a pump shotgun that there are better places to spend his money as I left. :monkey
As far as I am concerned Dicks Sporting Goods will not receive another dime from me and I am considering writing to corporate.
