I may have been missing something for a while, but today I went with friend to Sports Authority to buy a shotgun to use in US Air Force intramural skeet. He wanted a Remington 870 (God only knows why..that's a different story), which our local Sports Authority had on sale. He got delayed, which was no surprise as he had been delayed before (This is a USAF E7 with 22 years in the service, a top secret security clearance, etc, etc). The salesman made a statement that if NICS hadn't called back in 72 hours they wouldn't proceed with the sale. I asked if he meant until the 72 hours was up, he said no, they could not proceed with the sale period. At this point I asked to speak to the store manager, who confirmed that this is SA "policy". I would most likely never buy a gun from them anyway, but wanted you all to know about it. Boycott the heck out of the MFers!! I already sent my "Customer comment form" to the president of the company stating I will never do business with his company, and exactly why.
