The company reached this decision after Reed Exhibitions banned Modern Sporting Rifles and has refused to reconsider their stance.

They chose...poorly.

This is a good move by Mossberg. Very recently, Mossberg starting producing a very modestly priced AR.

Good old Mossy. A company as reliable as their guns.

Will there be anything left at the show?

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show exodus is a watershed event.

Anybody who chooses to go down the road Reed Exhibitions traveled knows that a similar fate is in store for them.

At this trend, there’d be only ‘spitball contest’ in the Great Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

I would guess that Mossberg isn’t having any trouble selling their wares these days, show or no show.

Harrisburg PA counting on the ESOS to bring in revenue could kiss big $$$ good bye.

What a PR nightmare for Reed Exhibitions, but they might be hailed as Heroes from the Left, so there’s that.

When does this reach the tipping point, when so many venders cancel they have to cancel the show? If I were a potential customer, it would have been long ago.

Yet another company to support. This could get expensive, but not this particular vendor, because Santa brought me a brand new Mossy for Christmas! W00t!

I’ve got a couple of Mossberg shotguns, a black 12 gauge pump, and a very nice walnut-stocked 20 gauge my wife loves to shoot trap with. I think I got the 20 gauge on sale at Walmart new a few years ago for about $150. Fine guns.

Where are Ted Nugent and the Robertson family (duck and buck commander)? I have not heard a peep from them.

If they signed a contract that takes away their freedom of speech, then there is no sense in them being armed. They may as well have cut off their own balls.

I saw on TV yesterday that Reed Exhibitions was sticking to their guns on this. They said these shows were only one % of their business so they really didn't care. Some one else needs to step up and offer and alternative to all the cities they are putting on shows!!
