NSSF Announces 2021 SHOT Show Cancellation
Oct 30, 2020 by SHOT Show
Statement from NSSF President & CEO Joe Bartozzi:

Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the world, NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, today makes the difficult announcement that the 2021 SHOT Show has been cancelled.

NSSF has remained in constant communication with Nevada officials throughout the year in our planning for the 2021 show. While there has been a concerted effort to expand the allowable levels for large gatherings by the county and state, with positivity rates peaking during our key planning period we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 show. Sadly, these spikes are currently transpiring worldwide. Given the sheer complexities, diminishing timeline and immense logistical planning required to conduct a trade show as large as SHOT, NSSF simply could not move forward at this point with so many unknowns and variables. We truly appreciate the guidance of Nevada and Las Vegas officials in allowing us to communicate this news to our exhibitors and attendees well in advance of the show. We would also like to thank the Sands directly for their help and efforts to navigate this unprecedented situation.

The planning and work that has gone into the 2021 SHOT Show has been nothing short of remarkable. Since the pandemic began in early 2020, the NSSF staff and our show partners have been working around the clock to plan our largest show in history while keeping the health and safety of all involved as paramount.

The support of our show exhibitors this year has also been nothing short of remarkable. With three months to go until the show, floor space for both the Sands Expo Center and our expansion to the new Caesars Forum was nearly sold out, with more companies than ever before represented at the SHOT Show.

All of this positions us for a 2022 SHOT Show that will be undoubtedly the best in our industry’s history, and we look forward to bringing our entire community together again at a show that will be one to remember.

During the coming year, NSSF asks for our industry’s unwavering support as we continue our fight to promote, protect and preserve our industry in these unsettling times.

Throughout this year, NSSF has remained at the forefront for our industry. As thousands of businesses across the country were shuttered as being “non-essential” during the pandemic, NSSF worked nonstop to have firearm retailers, ranges, manufacturers and distributors listed as “essential” which allowed them to remain open for business.

NSSF is your trade association. Everything we do—from education, safety initiatives, compliance and security resources, import/export guidance, consumer activation initiatives, government relations, and the SHOT Show—is aimed at helping businesses in our industry succeed. Now, more than ever, we need your continued support.

thank you, having issues linking on a new tablet.

And SCI has cancelled and most other large shows will cancel. Fox News is reporting over 226,000 American lives have been lost to COVID-19.

Hospitals in the major show centers are saying that with Flu season this winter, that they won't have the capacity to treat both flu and COVID-19 patients... expecting death tolls to rise. We are already losing 1,000+ Americans per day...

Watch how fast it goes away after Tuesday...

here now, las vegas is so screwed. conventioneers gone. lots of diverse, economically challenged, low life, ghetto lifestyle visitors. many venues closed. dem gov sisolak has not one single u.s. licensed m.d. on his public health team. the only true medical threat to las vegas is trump derangement syndrome.

recall that cdc officially says that just 6% of covid deaths are by covid. the other 94% are due to another cause with some covid antibody present at some level in the deceased.

Lots of people with Kool aid mustaches.

You are still good for a laugh.

Not when Trump wins; the show must go on and the Leftists don’t know when to stop. They’ll run this same program for the next 4 years, doubling down on what a horrible racist country this is for electing him, punishing us for choosing such a slob over the noble elites on the coasts.

Just you watch...

No one has much left to sell anyway

Here's an article on how the virus spreads if you can get past all the cookie stuff:

Trade shows are rather irrelevant now anyway.

Don't they know that after November, it will disappear?

Trade shows. Schools. Lots of things.

You can even see the doctor on your phone now.

Agree. Bring it.

Be interesting to see how it goes. If Biden gets in, he will probably not be able to resist the power that comes with a pandemic. If Trump stays in, the media will continue to do everything they can to make him look bad. I think we will be dealing with this for awhile.

At least they are not claiming to do a virtual shot show....
