Len has repeatedly warned people from using foul language on this board, and I'd imagine he's tired of giving warnings only to be ignored or for people to use random characters to circumvent his rules.
It as alway in DC come down to who you paid!

It's understandable - its also comical
When the very first Bass Pro opened in Alberta Canada it was a Three hour drive so I waited five months before I had another reason to go. When I got there I would say easily...50% of their selves were empty. When they bought Cabela's, within weeks 50% of their shelves were too. I chewed the management team in Edmonton a brand new orifice...and told them I would not be back after the third trip and getting nothing I went for. Took me 18 months before I went back!
If you all are really bothered by this don't give them your MONEY! They are this large because people keep giving them MONEY! This coming from a small business owner. You want to save a dollar here and there and hurt the little guy and help the large corporations. Then get on here and complain. This is all your faults. I keep seeing how you all keep saying it used to this way or that way. It is this way now because of the choices you made in spending your money. Midway, Sinclair, Graf these are not corporations these are regular people doing their best to compete against the big box. If you use these stores you are part of the problem. Just accept the damage you all have done. We have both of those stores where I live. I am more of a avid bass fisherman than a shooter and I still won't give them a dime. When they buy a bait company I change baits. Maybe it's the mind of a small business owner that has opened my eyes to the truth about business in America where you can buy your way into or out of just about anything You want.

Yah, of course. And Trump will be rightfully inaugurated in January. Wishful thinking. I so wish it were true!

Sucks big time.
I haven't read all the posts, so this may be repetitive, but with the shut down's from Covid19 , a great many walk-in businesses are being sold or shutting down. I don't believe one can blame Bass Pro ( Great American Outdoors Group) totally for the problems Cabela's developed during 2020.
From what I read on-line, Great American Outdoors Group, which already owns Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, White River Marine Group and nature-based resorts, paid $18.00 in cash per share to buy Outdoor Warehouse. The stock has reportedly increased 37% since the announcement. Doesn't mean it will stay that course, but can only hope.

Local SW has been low on everything related to reloading since May. Lots of firearms , but very little ammunition.
I believe that is almost exactly the same language they used when they bought Cabela's. I knew that was never going to be the case/last.
