And what retailers have your best interests at heart anymore?
Local gun stores and sporting good stores that have a vested interest in maintaing your business. When these massive retailers sell us out to sell more golf clubs and hiking boots it is the local gun store who will stand behind your rights and sell you an AR.
How about vances right here in Columbus who made this statement on their most recent NRA drive
"Vance Outdoors is an official NRA Recruiter. Considering the political climate, I call this a pretty gutsy position, considering that there are those who see law abiding gun-owners as more of a threat than the terrorists that run free among us, and who blame the NRA for the terrorist attacks that occur!"
Or we can even buy online from retailers like Buds Gun Shop that are sponsors of both the NRA and the National Shooting Sports foundation. Right at the top of their website they offer a discount for joining the NRA.
MidwayUSA donates tons of money to the NRA and Larrys wife Brenda sits on the NRA foundations Board of Trustees. Employees at MidwayUSA have NRA membership stickers proudly displayed on their office name plates.

And the list could go on and on. The point I am trying to make is support those who vocally support you. There are gun sellers out there who would never think of selling out your 2A rights, and they make it very clear where they stand. Then there are those like Dicks and F&S who will take your money and claim to support the 2A, but will sell you out in a heartbeat first chance they get it benefits them. By not taking a stand I see Cabelas and BassPro as one step away from being just that. I'd rather spend my money with someone who vocally stands behind be.
