Reed Exhibitions has 32 events scheduled in the United States for 2013, including the world famous Shot Show. The NSSF is the sponsor of the Shot Show and has strongly condemned the actions taken by Reed Exhibitions.
"The National Shooting Sports Foundation strongly disagrees with the decision of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show’s management to disallow the display and sale of Modern Sporting Rifles at its 2013 exhibition."
It is unknown if, given the strong reaction taken to Reed Exhibitions foray into American politics, if the NSSF will retain Reed Exhibitions to run the Shot Show next year.
Here is a list of the 32 events that Reed Exhibitions will run in the United States for 2013:

I wonder if Reed Exhibitions has any other managers that are willing to put their clients at financial risk in order to dabble in American politics.

The NRA just boycotted Reed’s Eastern Sportsmen’s Show: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2980896/posts
I know a young fellow that owns a business that designs, supplies and builds booths for such events. He has several going on any given weekend in different cities all over the Country.
Can’t wait to get his take on this, as he also a gun owner and very Conservative.
How many does this make?
Let’s turn that headline to past tense.
