Settlement Reached with Dick’s Sporting Goods on Ammunition Sales Violations
**TRENTON, NJ** – Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Consumer Affairs announced a settlement with Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. The settlement resolves allegations that the retailer violated New Jersey’s consumer protection laws by selling and shipping large capacity ammunition magazines (LCMs) into the state through its former subsidiary, Field and Stream.
New Jersey law prohibits the possession of LCMs, defined as firearm magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. LCMs can enable a shooter to fire many bullets quickly, which increases the risk of multiple injuries and fatalities in violent incidents. The frequent use of LCMs has been documented in mass shootings due to their potential for serious harm.
Under the terms of the settlement, Dick’s Sporting Goods has agreed to pay $46,000 in civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. The company has also committed to halting the sale and shipment of firearms, ammunition, and related products, including LCMs. Furthermore, if the chain resumes online sales of LCMs, it will not direct advertisements to New Jersey consumers and will not ship to any address in the state.
The investigation was conducted by the Office
