Just in:
CPUSA and the DNC will share a booth at the show. In related news, Media Matters has agreed to cover the event and has been given 2 segments on 60 minutes.

That is correct. If Mossberg pulls out, there will be a huge hole in the show. Mossberg is next to Thompson. Ruger is next to Thompson across an isle, and Trijicon, SecureIT Tactical and Combative Edge are across another isle from Ruger. Ruger, S&W, Thompson, Trijicon, SecureIT and Combative Edge are all boycotting.
There is a coordinated effort clear one corner of a hall to an entire hall to all of the halls at the show. There are a lot of people making this boycott work.

Rumor has it that Reed is threatening to sue those companies that are pulling out. If true, this is hurting them more than even I thought.

Reed Exhibitions itself is a huge target for a broader boycott, so many exhibitions and tradeshows. I suspect they’d not be too thrilled about being made a pariah by half the US population numerically and more than that as far as attendance, registered buyers and exhibitors.
A year is a lot of time for motivated major players to pull together an alternative to the SHOT Show and ESOS, both of which are under Reed. Might want to put them in a gun-friendly red state, for starters.

I know for a fact that Reed is threatening to sue the boycotting small companies. I have also heard they are not threatening to sue larger companies like S&W and Cabela's. I think Reed is setup for a breach of contract suit. On Nov. 26, Reed advertised at new Tactical Weapons section to the show. (funny, I just went to look for it in googlecache and it was scrubbed since yesterday.)
I hope that in the long run, those that are standing for the 2nd Amendment will receive regular business, and those who don't, we'll they can go out of business.

That is what should happen

With all these companies bailing out, the show should be cancelled. IMO, that is EXACTLY what the gun grabbers and libs want, to shut down the sale of guns. Unless I am missing something, it looks more like a win for the libs than anyone else.
