I hear this occasionally, so I will try and address it as tactfully as possible, here goes:  


We tried moving Bullpup Shoot out of Illiinois, and a couple of things happened:


1.  The attendance was terrible when held out of state, despite people saying they would be a lot happier to have it in a more gun friendly state.  Last year we had 850+ people at the event here in Illinois while "the other event" had 60 people show up...exactly as we predicted would happen if we held it in Kentucky again (which is why we didn't).  Some of that had to do with issues outside of being in another state, but being in another state certainly did not help.  

2.  It cost us almost 5 times  as much in money, manpower, and lost wages/time to run the event when we ran it outside of Illinois, and there is the difficulty of transporting loads of NFA stuff to another state.

Having it in Illinois allows us to do it for a reasonable investment of time and money for a good turnout and we can get back to the shop the next day.   We also know the facilities and owners personally so can tailor the event a lot closer to what we want it to be.  

FWIW, Illinois now has CCW reciprocity with a lot of states and more are getting added every year.  I completely understand the frustration that not every state has reciprocity with us, but we have to weigh that against the reality that reciprocity is a web of can/can't no mattter what state the event is in, and we have to make the event doable from a time and money investment standpoint to be able to put it on at all.
