I hope Cabela’s attorneys are looking at this closely.
Well, it’s a fish (or maybe hunt in this case) or cut bait situation. What else could this show’s promoter do with the terms between now and then? That’s a treacherous situation. They really crapped on the gun sports crowd here, people who frequently like to shoot “scary guns” but who will never use one to commit a crime with.
Those who do go ought to put up giant protest posters all over the place. Maybe an actual “scary gun” can’t be sold or shown, but they can still put up posters with photographs of them, as I read this. And also make it clear to this show promoter that it’s the last time they’ll do business with him or with anyone who does not promise in advance to refrain from adding such a condition after contracts are signed.
contract
...management reserves the right to determine the eligibility of any product for display...
...union labor only-....
interesting question on refunds what if all you had to display was now excluded? past practice ?
