As many are aware, the Eastern Sports Show has banned the presence of modern sporting rifles during it's expo.  Some industry leaders are ahead of the curve in pulling out of the expo, but lets see if we can't get others to join the NRA, Smith and Wesson, and Cabela's in saying NO! to the leftist's efforts to divide and conquer the gun rights community.  Below is a list of the exhibitors still listed for the show, the first list will be firearms exhibitors, and I'll try to update with contact information for each place.  Bolded some of the companies who should be no-brainers to get out.  Struck-out those who have already bailed.

Don't be afraid to find their facebook pages, or whatnot until I can get together some contact info!

Smith & Wesson® Withdraws from Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show®

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (January 22, 2013) --- Smith & Wesson, a U.S. based leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced that the Company will not attend nor will it support or participate in the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The announcement comes after the decision of show management company, Reed Exhibitions, to prohibit the display of modern sporting rifles in this year’s event.

James Debney, President and CEO of Smith & Wesson, said, “As a market leader in the firearm industry and an iconic brand that spans 160 years of American history, we believe it is important to make our position perfectly clear: We support the Second Amendment and the rights of our law-abiding customers to purchase these and all legal firearms. Therefore, we are unable to support any organization or event that prohibits legal firearms, or otherwise restricts a citizen's lawful and constitutional rights.”
