Phil, a good friend of mine owned an Orvis store. He made more money on socks and belts and shirts than on guns and ammo. It wasn't even close. I think the small gun shops operate on small margins due to internet sales. Clothes are different, most folks want to see them, feel them, try them on. I think Dicks keeps the shareholders happy selling Chinese made clothing. That's fine, I just won't use them.
