We explore the possibility of gluino decay into charmed quarks as a source of dimuons observable at the pp-bar collider. We find it to be negligible compared to bb-bar, cc-bar sources for any m/sub g/ as long as m/sub c/ is comparable to m/sub u/, m/sub d/, and m/sub s/. However, if c is much lighter than other scalar quarks, the dimuon signal can become substantial, and for m/sub g/roughly-equal5 GeV, that part of the monojet cross section due to g decay can be greatly reduced.
