I don't boycott. I choose not to do business with an entity based on price. CTD is anything but cheap so I don't order from them. I now think twice before I go into a Dick's. I always hated that they were the ones that decided when I wanted to use my rewards points. I barely do any business with the most convenient LGS. Their prices are always high on firearms and hunting gear.
The whole PayPal thing boggles me. I find no better way to stick it to them then by using their service for something that "isn't allowed."

After the school shooting, they immediately pulled all of their firearms from their site. They also either sold out of or pulled all the high-cap mags off their site, only to relist them later for about 50% higher prices. They made a statement at the time that was something to the effect of "We are committed to the 2A but are re-evaluating our policies currently"...
That said, I used to use CTD for a lot of my purchases because their shipping to me here in TX is so damn fast and while their prices aren't the best, they aren't criminal either.
For 22lr, I go to Killough Shooting Sports or Champion Shooters Supply. Killough is great for benchrest shooters buying Eley by the lot number. Champion has a great stock of a variety of 22lr ammos.

Tight panties all around.....
"Boycotting" a store (like Dicks) that doesn't sell what you want to buy (guns) is pretty funny. I'm sure they are devastated.
Thinking your "boycott" makes you a champion of the Second Amendment?
Well, don't forget to consider the computer, tablet or smart phone you are currently using.......see, the hardware and software therin was made by Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and many other companies that aren't anymore gun friendly than Dicks.
So don't just stop at boycotting Dicks. If you don't want to be a hypocrite then you need to toss your computer out the door right now. Otherwise you are economically supporting the antigunners.
While you're boycotting Cheaper Than Dirt, don't forget to boycott Target, Sears, JC Penney, Dillards, and all those local hardware stores that used to carry guns...........cause guess what? They chose to pull guns from their shelves decades ago. It doesn't matter whether they made any profit off gun sales we need to teach them a lesson.
What CTD did is being done on this and every other gun forum, on GunBroker, and at every gun show by dealers and attendees alike.
Don't like the price? Move on and buy from someone cheaper. It's kinda funny that all the stores that "refuse to raise their prices" don't have anything to sell.

Which had nothing to do with the right to keep and bear arms and everything to do with a sorry online ordering system.....it allowed customers to order firearms not in stock. Sheesh. CTD was not the only online vendor to realize their e-commerce "solution" was a bit outdated.
It's called CAPITALISM, don't like it go to Cuba and enjoy their economy.

Paypal - I'll ask the seller if they'll do a CC, check, or money order. Most will.
BoA. My wife closed her account and told them exactly why.

Wow, tom, thanks for telling us that if we don't like what dicks and CTD do as far as sales and pricing are concerned, we are free to not shop there since its America and all....
I'm pretty sure that's what people are saying here, that they are going to do just that
You seem to think we should be dancing a jig because these companies have acted by raising their prices to three times what they were a week prior, on top of being out of stock.
This doesn't fly with places like MidwayUsa and CDNN keeping their prices low and keeping their inventories just as if not more current.
Don't tell me I don't have the right to be pissed at CTD and boycott them for their unjustified price increases. Its not "evil" its just dumb. Dumb as in you lose the support of your customer base.

Ever stop to think if they are out of stock.......it doesn't matter what the price is?
Good grief.
You need to compare CDNN's last few "weekend specials" to see that you are sadly mistaken. They raised prices significantly.
Please let me know how many $9.99 PMags Midway is shipping by the way.

About the same number as Cheaper than Dirt, I'd imagine. The difference is, say, MidwayUSA isn't pissing people off like CTD, losing a customer every time they log in to see that stupid-crazy price next to the "out of stock" notation...MidwayUSA also limited its orders to 2 magazines apiece instead of raising prices, which is means EVERYONE can afford their two mags until they were sold out. Cheaper than dirt....well, they sold out, but they raised prices well before they were sold out, so it wasn't to protect inventory...they made a lot more money, and a lot of people all of the sudden couldn't afford their product, while a few select people with aloooooot of money to spend per mag could.....
Its fair as hell, and its the good old capitalist, American way.
So is not rewarding that kind of cutthroat, top $ capitalism by not doing business with them. Its obvious that supporting max profits matters more to CTD than supporting the gun community. Yay, they sell guns, so do a lot of other places that do much more to support the gun community, instead of bleeding as much from customers as possible in response to terrible tragedies and political atmosphere.
I still gladly boycott the hell out of them... for raising prices to the point that a select few elite people with waaaay more to spend than the average person could afford for mags, thereby making the most profit possible while completely ignoring MSRP.
You don't get it. Its fully legal to call someone an @$$hole and give them the finger. Just don't expect to remain friends. Its bad business to do what CTD did.
Selling 5 pmags at $80 each to some desperate, unprepared idiot with cash to burn doesn't make up for the countless pmags you'll never sell at msrp because you pissed 80% of your customers off to the point of not returning.

I hope everybody is MORE pissed about how much money our government is throwing away as they are CTD selling magazines at market prices. Smells like greed at both ends to me.

How about boycotting those criminals in DC...
From my work today...
A message from xxxxx, SVP & CHRO, and xxxxxx, Senior Director, Fiscal Services
With the start of the new year, and as a result of the recent changes in the Federal and State tax code, we thought it would be helpful to communicate the changes that you can expect. The material below is intended to be informational; if you have a tax advisor, you may want to consult with them on these changes.
Social Security Payroll Tax Increase:
Social Security payroll tax (FICA), currently at 4.2 percent will increase to 6.2 percent for wages up to $113,700.
The State of Maine has slightly lowered the state tax rate for 2013. (Republican Gov....)
Boycott them.

Kind of hard to boycott H&K when they don't sell to civilians. Mission accomplished, I guess!
I also tell gun owners to stop bidding on eBay so I get better deals.

Boycotts may or may not work, but I choose to not spend my money at a place that has a distaste or blatant opposition to my hobby and freedoms.
Dicks's
CTD
Costco
Toy R Us
Bank of America
MSNBC
Levis
CDNN(I had ordered a Beta Mag somewhere and they let me know they were out of stock but CDNN still had them for 139.99. I called CDNN and inquired about them and they said they were 149.99, I said I would call right back to see if my friend wanted me to order him one too. I called back two minutes later and said I need to order two, they said they are now 169.99. I said you seriously went up $20 in two minutes for in stock product, no thanks.)
Buffalo Wild Wings(they are the only bar around me that plays UFC too:banghead
Pizza Hut too apparently, better local places for pizza anyways

GOOGLE
Let me say it again
GOOGLE
They have banned all retail gun outlets, with the most over reaching anti-firearms policy online. Try shopping for any firearms items with google and you'll see what the commotion is about. It's important to note that google shopping carries porn, which is apparently more important to them then a constitutional right.
There are others on my list, already mentioned by others, but this one is a huge oversight by most gun owners and gun sights.

I forgot about google. You can't use the google shopping for guns, magazines, ammo, anything. Used to use it to find the cheapest prices. Wouldn't surprise me if they start excluding it from standard searches.
