Do NOT Buy From Rural King

[halfmileharry]

Oh yeah. I forgot why we’re boycotting them. I thought it was for firing the employee who used a firearm in self defense a while back.

That was the FIRST time we boycotted them. They had shoulder roasts for $.99 a pound and got in good graces again.

SO, you can bought? Cheap at that! 99 cents a pound!

So, what is the time limit before declaring the OP a One Post Wonder?

I'm sure I could be bought for the right amount. To be clear... I don't like Kroger's pork so I don't buy it.
I never boycotted Krogers or Dicks. In Dicks case I won't buy at their gun department. I will on occasion buy in the Fishing section or clothing depts.
It's a matter of convenience since I will NOT buy online. I deal with brick and mortar stores. Preferable family operations.

I stopped buying there when they stopped letting me hold the gun without the trigger lock..

Terre Haute doesn't have that policy.... Must be a Bloomington thing! The only quirk in TH is that the firearms must leave in a hard locked case, since it's in a "school zone".

Martinsville rural king has the same policy. Had to call a friend that lives close to it and have him bring me a case or buy one from the store.

Does RK carry wallets?



Just asking for a friend..

Why yes, yes they do, but you, as a mere mortal, are not allowed access to them. If you are endowed with a badge from the Indiana State Police, they are at your mercy.

So we are boycotting Wally mart but not Target?

I can't really boycott Target... 'Yoga pants & riding boots' during the cold weather seasons... You know what I mean...

I've been in rehab for my open heart. What did I miss? The last gun I bought at RK worked just fine....

...he's gone

Makes me want to buy something from RK and post it, but, I know he'll never see it.

Guy buys gun from RK
guy finds out gun has recall (may or may not have been active at time of sale)
guy contacts mfr and sends gun to mfr
guy calls RK
RK offers to take care of handling the recall but guy already sent it in
guy is angry they didn't do something(?) for him
guy badmouths RK on INGO for ?
INGO calls guy out for b****ing about RK over ?
guy not heard from again
post #12-on: guy's a dick, guy's gone.

I just heard that Dick's is buying Rural King and changing the name to "Sir Richard's"....

LOL!

Rural king is targeting INGO members with problematic items. I should have taken this boycott seriously, but didn’t. Yesterday on 6-17 I purchased one of their 24” direct drive fans that was already assembled rather than one in a box. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I plugged it in and the motor made noise, but blade wasn’t moving. I realized that the blade had come off the shaft so I removed 6 (5/16”) screws and outer guard, put blade back on, and then tightened the 3mm set screw. Fan works great now

You should go back to RK and demand some kind of extra.....like some free popcorn.

Waiting for the story that he complained up the line and asked to talk to the legal department...'cause that always gets you good customer service.

Bought some copper sulfate at RK for the pond at the range. I read the directions and doubled the dose just to be sure. IT TURNED THE POND BLUE! I DEMAND that legal refund my money and restore the weeds to the pond!

I'm glad i clicked on this thread.. Funny stuff

So I’m confused? Are we boycotting or not? I can’t keep carrying around this pitch fork if we aren’t forming a angry mob.
