Dicks end game to get back into the firearms retail business is the opening of Field & Stream Shops; http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2014/08/20/field-stream-planning-sept-5-opening-in-cary.html
I think the true gun enthusiast stopped going to these stores after they turned there back on us.
