“Event organizer Reed Exhibitions imposed the ban...”
Reed is a UK-based company.
Good. I am glad they are supporting the 2nd Amendment.
I will continue doing business with them.
I currently have a sizable backorder for .223 ammo. Hopefully, that will ship out sometime this month.
As for Dick’s Sporting goods, I will never do business with them.
Call me nuts, but there is plenty of time to shut down this show and let the liberal promoter from the UK and the likes of Progressive Insurance and Comcast holding the bag as the only exhibitors.
FRmail me if you are in ... here's the plan: The show is divided into large rooms. On the show's website, they list all exhibitors by room (an interactive map). I will make a list of the exhibitors and their contact details for each room. I will leave out businesses, like the guys selling whirlpools and home stuff, so if any individual goes to the show - if it is still on - has limited if no outdoor related exhibitors to visit.
For the next week or so we will FReep the contacts. CC your friends and build a real grassroots movement.
The promoter needs to be taught a lesson. There are others that are willing to to replace the current promoter. For instance, in September there will be a national outdoors show in Carlisle (about 15 minutes from Harrisburg, with far fewer of Obama's people). The Carlisle show has the potential to be much larger than the Sportsmen's show in Harrisburg. They have more space - it is outdoors - and they have planned swap meets, entertainment, chili cookoffs, and much more.
With a little bit of time over the next week and half we can shut this show down. Over 200,000 people go to this show. It will show that we can organize better than Obama's people. We are smarter, more principled and we know that the fate of our Republic depends on the 2nd Amendment.
Good for Cabela’s. I think Pro Bass is standing firm on their firearms also.
But Cabela's was one of the four main sponsors. Guess they ain't Dick's! (re: Dick's Sporting Goods and their many anti-rights faux pas)

What about Bass Pro?
There’s a new Dick’s Sporting Goods in Northboro, MA. They sell only Nerf arrows and paint-ball guns for hunting. They’re useless.
I just ordered a shirt from them ... every little bit helps.
Hubby’s in the process of ordering a couple of striper rods and reels from them right now.
With the added business, Cabela’s will more than recoup whatever they forfeited in exhibition fees. They know their customers are loyal.
I may have to stop at the Cabela’s 45 minutes south of here on my way back to my during the week residence from a 4 day weekend.
Drove right past it last night returning home from a party of sorts. :)
My niece works in their call center up in Nebraska, as does her former roommate, and the daughter of a classmate of mine.

One has to think not having anything to sell is a strong motive for gun dealers to pull out of these shows.
I stuck my nose in a small local gun show at an Armory. Sames old traders and collectors swapping stuff back and forth as they have for years. A few revolvers and hunting guns. Bit of 22LR and shotgun shells. Bunch of the overpriced “tactical” accessories. Absolutely zero self defense guns or ammo. The only center fire ammo at the entire show was a few boxes on .270. I didn’t look if it was new or reload.
