Since Reed Enterprises decided to ban all black guns & high capacity clips at the show,I know alot of vendors or now backing out to stand up for the 2nd amendment . I'm more curious to who on this site is not going to attend as well.
Treestands don't demand. Treestands don't complain. Treestands simply ask me to sit down and listen.

EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun!

I'm not attending. I never have and doubt I ever will.
Maybe you should rephrase your question?

Here is the most up to date list of the vendors who have joined the boycott. They took a large hit money wise for doing this, Reed is not giving there money back, plus the sales that they lose. So please support them if you feel inclined.

I'll be there as always, but creating even more chaos and turmoil than is usually the case. Now I have a legitimate reason for being the collossal PITA I am capable of being. Reed has long been a major source of irritation for vendors and show goers alike. It's just that many vendors put up with their chit all these years, because they had to in order to get a spot. All bets are off for this one. BTW, don't be surprised when several more "big hitters" that have already bailed, like Cabela's and celebrities like Shockey, are joined via announcements of more desertions over the next day or two. Desertions are running far above what has been reported in the media thus far. Reed has already shown their stupidity in bannning weapons and other heavy handed moves over the years, now they'll look even more incompetent this year when this ESOS "dust" settles. This show has always suffered from the boobs that Reed put in charge of it, although Ed Several was a huge improvement over his predecessor and Chris O'Hara is a slight improvement over Ed. But the show improved and grew despite them, not because of them.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

WOW - that should make a real dent, and create some aftershocks as well. Thanks for posting. Seems like chicken**** for Reed to not refund their fees after he changed the terms for the show. You bet, they will get my support where I can do so.

Pretty good list right there! Certainly a group of folks to support who are taking a major hit for standing on principle. Pretty rare, anymore.
Any lists of those who support the anti's stance & the show promoters? They should take a hit via boycott & negative contact, big time. "Zumbo" the CSMFs..

I personally represent several companies as FieldStaff or ProStaff, and none of them will be attending. It was a major loss of funds for some companies, but I'm very excited to see the unity and a statement that sends a loud and clear message to those that would violate or 2nd amendment. The loss of booth reservation funds and revenue generated from the show did not trump these companies from making their stand! That financial loss is not to be taken lightly. I fully support these comapanies, and hope that Americans will support the companies and personalities that have boycotted the show to show support for freedom! Hopefully, those involved in the outdoors will buy their products from the companies that had the guts to make a stand.

There is a list of people who so far have refused to pull out. But, I won't post it as it is still early, and they may change their minds. The two remaining major sponsors are The Outdoor Channel, and Progressive insurance ( Cabelas was the third but pulled sponsorship very early on). Dicks is also not pulling out ( i don't mind throwing them under the bus).

Progressive is owned by soros so they will be gleeful to ban guns. I would read my contract and see, if there was a change you could get your money back for booth space. The second hit they will take is lower attendance.
