Civil suits, on the other hand, can be brought for any reason whatsoever. There is a risk in doing so, since the petitioner can be countersued. I'm sure some gun-friendly organization with a freedom-friendly name will find someone who will be a stalking horse and try to win a law suit. Mostly, the point will be to get Dick's to back down and drop the policy. I assume Dick's was prepared for this in advance, and intends to either cave immediately (meaning their ban was wallpaper) or hit back hard. We'll see.I'm sure there's a group of lawyers who will eventually represent all legal purchaser's/ legal gun owners that Dick's refuses to sell particular guns to that are legally available for sale in all of their stores. How many people will that be eventually? I don't know but I'm sure it's adding up as we speak and as time continues. Think about it, 2-3 relatively minor refusals a day adds up to around fifty to a hundred illegal refusals per month per store. We'll see who's right within a year or two.
