Those strechpants overweight rv / fisher peoples will really not want to run that gauntlet even if there is free parking now.
Don't know how many good ol boyz will be out there protesting with signs, but then again those "stretch pantz" putzs are a breed apart.
You NEVER KNOW whatcher gonna get with THAT bunch! They may get p!!ssed because a guy with a sign (which they CAN'T read) is outside the door!
LOL,
I know you know what I mean. It'll be interesting.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a list of businesses that are boycotting the show so folks could actually order from THEM directly,,during the show?
Thinking it’s not just this year. Reed has exposed themselves. Wonder if this show will EVER be the same again. Hopefully and alternative show will spring up next year, built around those businesses who pulled out this year. Screw Reed.
Got to agree with that all the way.
Hate mucho when folks “assume” you know what city and state to which they are referring.
Like in MY world, everyone just KNOWS you live in the “Burgh.”
After that, yinz’re all ferriners and don’t matter fer doodily squat anywayz.
>>I wonder if they had to pay a fee and will now lose their money.
I would think that by changing the rules at the last minute that the organizer would be at risk for lawsuits to force them to refund everything.
Pols in DC could care less about support and unity behind the AR. Next election is 22 months away. They're pretty sure we're all going to forget about this by then.
Besides, they still count their own votes. We've been pwned by 0bama and that's just the way it is.
Then again if a sponsor pulled out because the rules were changed so that the sponsor could not display his legal products the sponsor would have a tort.

The Shot Show
15-18 Jan 2013
Firearms, Hunting & Outdoor Products & Law Enforcement Products.
Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV, United States
Line in the sand, my fellow Freeper, line in the sand.
C’mon?
Strech pants?
Some of us are switch-hitters and enjoy wetting our rod in addition to killing mammals....
Looks like lots of lost income for the show’s sponsors, vendors, surrounding merchants, etc etc - that’ll help the middle class....
The should get back their fee, or the amount they would have been calculated to profit on sales at the show, whichever is greater. The promoter changed the product to one of less value to the buyer after the deal was done, so he owes it to them to make them whole. Hopefully it bankrupts them (the organizer).
Be interesting to see if the jury at the lawsuit feels themselves bound by the arrogant proclamations of a bunch of contract-breaching rule-changing deadbeats. I'm guessing not.
And not just the space rent. They entered a contract with the exhibitors which had the potential to be profitable for those vendors, otherwise they vendors wouldn't have bought in the first place. Just refunding the fee is no more than status quo ante. It doesn't cover the damage actually suffered by those they screwed with this decision.
Excellent point.
Right on!
This is shining example of standing on principles and starving the beasts.
Control our purse strings - shut out those who seek to violate the US Constitution; open up our purses to those who stand up on their conservative principles.
A POTUS does not necessarily possess that unless people grant it. This POTUS exercises it even when permission is not granted. The boycotting vendors granted the usurper power when they refused to show up and do their normal thing, in spite of the usurper.
Perhaps you didn't read the article. The vendors can't just show up and do what they'd planned to do at this event. The event organizers changed the rules of the event to bar so-called 'assault rifles', etc.
Those vendors now backing out, are doing so because they either manufacture or sell the aforementioned 'assault rifles'. Those rifles are also their biggest drawing items, but now they're not being allowed to display or sell them at this event.
This is a business decision on their part. They're going to lose income because of the event organizer's decision. These vendors also happen to fully support the 2nd Amendment, which is the moral side to their protest.
