And I was really intent to go this year to pick up some Fudd stuff, too.  Now, I'll echo your sentiments.  Fuck 'em.

I don't ever recall seeing any semi autos or handguns there anyway - it's a total Fudd scene, FWIW.

I saw a few things there last year. Ammo, mags and such. There isn't usually a lot of guns for sale; not like a gun show anyway.

This.

I work at a well known company in the industry, and even some of our employees (mostly women) have been chatting about how we need a new AWB and mag restrictions.

A guy in the maintenance department told me "I don't care if they ban the semi automatics. I shoot a bolt gun".



This makes me think that we should lay these employees off.

So what does that leave?  Lever actions, jerky tables and airsoft?

For those that are near the show you should show up and setup a protest booth outside about how the show is throwing black rifle owners under the bus...

Yup.

My best man in my wedding today told me that no one needs 30 round mags when his browning gold hunter holds 3.

I told him to fuck off and let me have his glock.

Email sent to the assholes.

I saw the news article about your company banning the display and/or sale of so-called "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines.

1.  You do not even know what an assault weapon is.
2.  We, as gun owners, and supporters of the 2nd Amendment, will do everything possible to boycott your company and anything you organize.
3.  We will see that as many people as possible boycott this show.
4.  Fuck your company and your feel-good communist views.


And, the assholes are from CT, which I'm sure is contributing to their pussification.

Here is a statement by Trop gun shop.

We have pulled out of all of our booth space based on Reeds policy towards AR's! We will do something in our store at the same time as the show.

We are sorry that we won't be able to see our customers there but it is a matter of principles. We support the 2nd Amendment without conditions!!


Dave Dunn
President Trop Gun


Later they posted

I hope they refund because they did change the game. We started meeting with them after last years show to discuss our display for this year. We purchased over $20,000 in booth space! The focus was tactical guns and gear. they requested and encouraged us to go that way.

We also purchased a surplus Army deuce and a half for the center piece of the display. We had it customized and wrapped for the show. We will not be able to recover that cost from Reed. Look for it at gunshows in he future.

I hope other stores and dealers join us in this effort to stand up for our second amendment rights.


F that Eastern sports and outdoor show, I am heading to Trops again to spend my money at a place that supports out 2A.

If you can make it, protest it. Hold up signs in front of the event saying what they are doing. Bet you can drive some people away with that method. Print up short pamphlets to pass out.

I had a booth there for the past two years (I'm a fishing guide in Florida).... I have been on the fence about going this year and decided I would only go if I could pick up a great last minute deal on a booth and if my baby didn't come late and there were no complications (baby due on the 28th of this month). This solidifies my decision not to go.

I put this on Cabela's page.

Your sponsorship of the Eastern Sports Show needs to end immediately. They have banned all tactical weapons and accessories.
I have purchased thousands of dollars worth of gear from your company over the years, but I will not spend one dollar more at a
business that does not have unconditional support of the 2nd Amendment.
