I doubt it will ever see a court. Dicks and Wal-Mart will quietly capitulate and comply with the state law or they'll drop guns and ammo entirely.

I wonder who is funding the kid's lawsuit? The NRA or the so called gun grabbers?
Right. Unless the retailer wants to choose WHAT to sell based on WHO wants to buy it.So if the conservative nuts on this forum had any intellectual honesty and consisitency,
they would be supporting Dick's and Walmart,
since the RW consensus on this forum at least is that a business should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
oops.
Conservatives do believe a retailer can pick and choose what they want to sell.
The law has already determined they don't get to pick and choose who they sell it to.
Aye caramba.It depends on the words they use..Okay, so I've heard the baker is winning and I've heard the baker isn't winning.Since Dick's isn't the only place selling guns, why did he go there? Is this another bake-a-cake suit? Who won that one?
Not the baker
Any other helpful information to clear this up?
Right. Unless the retailer wants to choose WHAT to sell based on WHO wants to buy it. Then they're be
And there is widespread belief around here that the law is WRONG on that.
Whether or not someone thinks a law is wrong, doesn't change the fact it is law.
I knew this was coming. And he'll win too. These retailers have only two legal choices... Sell as state law permits. Or don't sell at all...https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...420060cb7bd_story.html?utm_term=.aad35c23c783
PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon man filed suits Monday claiming Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart discriminated against the 20-year-old when they refused to sell him a rifle.
Dick’s and Walmart restricted gun sales to adults 21 and older in the wake of the Florida high school massacre. The 19-year-old accused in the school slaying bought the AR-15 used in the attack legally.
Oregon law allows residents to buy shotguns or rifles starting at age 18.
Watson is asking judges to force Dick’s and Walmart “to stop unlawfully discriminating against 18, 19, and 20 year-old customers at all Oregon locations.” Additionally, he is asking for unspecified punitive damages.

Discrimination in place of public accommodation prohibited
Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, all persons within the jurisdiction of this state are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation, without any distinction, discrimination or restriction on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is of age, as described in this section, or older.
Looks like those fascist PA laws are coming back to haunt some people![]()
Not the seller...Since Dick's isn't the only place selling guns, why did he go there? Is this another bake-a-cake suit? Who won that one?
Newsflash. People around here argue whether a law is right or wrong all the time.
Sounds good to me.Right. Unless the retailer wants to choose WHAT to sell based on WHO wants to buy it. Then they're be
Well yeah, they can decide not to sell firearms, eliminating their need to determine who they sell to based on age discrimination.
They wouldn't be breaking the law that way.
Sounds good to me.
Republicans should just change their name to the Socialist Party of America now that they want to tell private businesses what to do.
They did not do it on an individual basis, they made a corporate wide policy, and made everyone aware of it....https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...420060cb7bd_story.html?utm_term=.aad35c23c783

oops.
Your blanket statement is wrong as usual.
First, if the law is in place, it has to be equally applied. Dicks is an actual PA, in a State where age discrimination is illegal.
2nd, I for one support PA laws when applied to actual PA's. My issue has always been applying them to any business at all.
So you want to pretend that most righties on this forum don't support the right of a business to refuse service to anyone for any reason?
lol, good one.
sounds pretty simple to meThey did not do it on an individual basis, they made a corporate wide policy, and made everyone aware of it....https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...420060cb7bd_story.html?utm_term=.aad35c23c783

So that makes it a little different.....
Also, age discrimination laws are there and written to protect the elderly.....not certain about the young???
This suit will be interesting......

Is there a law in Oregon that makes it illegal to rent a car to someone under 25?They actually can be used to protect the young, as in cases where some car rental companies wouldn't rent to anyone under 25.
Like a Hooters hiring only young female waitresses.....
Was legal, and not discrimination against men or the elderly, it was their business model.....
