Sponsors pulling out of Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

[KahrMan]

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is like a mini SHOT Show.  It is a huge show that has been around for a long time.  Reed Exhibitions puts on the show.  This year they made the decision that so-called assault rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines will not be allowed to be displayed or sold at the show this year.  Right after the announcement sponsors started pulling out.  We are not talking little guys either.  Cabela's, NWTF just to name a couple of big ones.  Here is the list of the sponsors/celebrities that have pulled out.

All these companies are saying the same thing.  It is important to stand up for the Second Amendment.

 

I say good for the companies. :up:
 

[mikegideon]

Awesome!

[Major Kong]

Fantastic! Good to see a company putting principles first.

[npgunner]

I like it! I'll be sure to spend some cash at these places soon.

[timcar86]

Read today that S&W pulled out as well.

[mcurrier]

Good for them.

[Guest ThePunisher]

Nonsupport to these anti 2nd A people and organizations is one way of winning the battle.

[Fourtyfive]

Looks like somebody pooped in the churn !

[jphillips63]

The public also needs to not support the show by spending there money at the local gun shops or vendors who pulled out instead paying to enter.

[Steelharp]

Ruger also pulled out, along with S&W.

[knox]

Cheers!  Well done, well done.   :woohoo:

^^^this^^^  We now have a directory of people to do business with.

[Oh Shoot]

Most of the orgs' purposes and products have nothing to do with EBRs, so that really some surprising solidarity, better than the solidarity within NRA itself!

Ted Nugent is scheduled to appear there on Feb 10th, it would be nice if he pulled out too but he may bound by a contract.

Ruger also pulled out, along with S&W.

 

Great!! Now I might just buy another Ruger in support. No more Smith for a while, bought too many of them last fall.

[rugerla1]

Loved hearing this, contacted Cabelas to let them know I appreciated it and that all of my friends were excited to hear it as well. Happy to see such a long list!

[greyofk]

There is a way to express gratitude without buying the product. You can buy RGR stack and SWHC stack.

I know it is a risky gambling now. However it would be an action of true citizen and patriot

[MacGyver]

I hope all these companies will stick together while they're pulling out of places and go ahead and punch out of New York, too.

I'd love to see NYPD have to explain to the unwashed masses why they're going to cocked and locked on a bunch of old rebuilt 1911s because no manufacturer will sell them modern weapons or parts.

Now that'd be change you can believe in.

Amen!

[Guest capt usa]

That's great, they should get together and do their own show somewhere else.

This ^ is what I thought was the most important aspect of the whole story.

[herr.baer]

I normally go to this show but will not be going anymore. :down:

[TripleDigitRide]

Reed Exhibition also puts on the Shot Show. Why didn't they ban EBRs and high-capacity magazines there?

[D3vo]

The show is "postponed".   :surrender: oops...
