Got my badges just in time to find out this show is effectively canceled, not by NRA yet, but by vendors not showing up. So the business portion will go on I guess, but the exhibit hall will be empty. Here is the list I have found not coming:

5.11
Benelli USA
Beretta
Browning
FN Herstal
HK
Kimber Manufacturing
Savage Arms
Smith & Wesson
Springfield Armory
Sig Sauer
Sturm, Ruger & Company
Vista

All of the vendors pulling out sucks.
I will probably still go as it is minimal expense.

Will swing by Collectors Firearms while in town - I haven't been since they moved into their new location.

Posting this from the ARFCOM after party thread.


Quoted:
We are discussing things internally and should have an update in the next 48 hours on the state of the party.

At this time we are aware of the large number of companies who have canceled, as well as others who are making their decisions over the next 24-48 hours. If the companies don't go, less attendees will show, and the NRA may cancel the event entirely.

Just talked to NRA Housing Bureau and they have canceled reservations booked through them.
Emails will be sent out to everyone in next few days to confirm cancelations.

I'm sure they didn't have many options with vendors pulling out left and right. Odds are venue people and their insurance provider providers probably didn't help either.

Not that I was gonna go, or give much thought to anything NRA related these days, but when the heck are we going to build convention centers away from these democrat squalors and put the money we put into trade show dollars into republican backed bank accounts?

The NRA isn't having a convention in Houston, good. There's a few million dollars Houston and Harris Co won't see.

I don't want to go to downtown Houston, San Antonio, Austin or Dallas for anything. I'm tired of paying thousands of dollars to setup a tradeshow booth and have to deal with shitty union backed tradeshow employees.

I guess you can say well, they are close to the airport or hotels, etc. But are any really close to the airport? And every city always builds it's own "city owned hotel" next door with it's own restaurants.

I know I'm dreaming, but I'm going to keep sowing the seed.
