"Due to recent changes made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Cabela’s will no longer sponsor this year’s event. After careful consideration regarding Cabela’s business practices, and the feelings of our customers, Cabela’s will, unfortunately, not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show."

Clearly, we strongly support the 2nd Amendment. However, this year we have made the decision not to include certain products that in the current climate may attract negative attention that would distract from the strong focus on hunting and fishing at this family-oriented event and possibly disrupt the broader positive experience of our guests.

| I agree with Cabela's in dropping this sponsorship. Since the Eastern Outdoors and Sports Show has decided to prohibit military style weapons and large capacity mags from attending, then think all gun dealers should do the same and boycott the show/set up an altenate. |

Glad to hear this. I will gladly continue to place ammo backorders (that will probably never get filled) from them. And fishing season is coming up, too. All money I would have spent at Dicks is going to Cabela's.
CAB has been a great part of my portfolio, too. |
Good for Cabela's. The majority of their wares are hunting/fishing related. They are not attending the largest hunting/fishing show on the East coast and will potentially loose business because of it. Tthey are back on my list of suppliers; again good on Cabela's. 
I guess they understand hang together or hang separately |

We need to voice our thanks to Cabela's

After this insanity has passed...we will remember who stood with us and who kicked us in the teeth. You bet your ass I will remember the panty waist motherfuckers that bowed to any of this bullshit
I'm the most diplomatic, easy going dude around. That said, any business entity that conceded even the smallest motherfucking thing to this emotionally driven sophomorish fucking crap will have thrown their chips away to those who stood strong. Cocksuckers! Good on you Cabelas

| How is running and hiding a good thing? This is the kind of event that puts a positive light on the firearms industry. So leave the AR's at the store. They could have still sponsored this and not brought any guns. They have a whole warehouse full of sporting goods. This is a cowardly act than should not be celebrated. |
