They need to make no effort to negotiate with the show just go out on their own and make up a new show.

It is the same promoter that runs SHOT. Reed expositions.
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!

But Guess what, this from the National Shooting Sports Foundation: Statement on Reed Exhibitions� Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

The National Shooting Sports Foundation strongly disagrees with the decision of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show�s management to disallow the display and sale of Modern Sporting Rifles at its 2013 exhibition. In our discussions with Reed Exhibitions, we have made this very clear.
National Rifle Association Statement
While assuring us that all legally available firearms will be welcome at future Eastern Sports and Outdoor Shows, it was explained that this unfortunate decision was made in response to the planned actions of a single retailer that would have drawn significant unwelcomed media coverage at a time when firearms ownership is being assailed in the media. It is important to note that this year�s show will continue to feature a wide variety of firearms.
However, it would be unfair to penalize the 1,200 exhibitors or the some 200,000 sportsmen and women who will attend the show by discouraging participation at a time when the hunting and shooting sports community needs to be united in the face of political challenges.
We urge industry exhibitors and attendees to participate in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show as planned and encourage attendees to visit the Reed Exhibitions booth at the show to share their concerns and to then enjoy the show.

The NRA's responce: NRA Statement in Response to Reed Exhibitions' Decision to Ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show Posted on January 17, 2013 Print Share on print Email Share on email Share More Sharing Services Share on facebook Share on twitter The National Rifle Association strongly disagrees with Reed Exhibitions' decision to ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, PA, February 2-10. We encourage Reed Exhibitions to reconsider their position. While this decision has come as a surprise and concern, we have made a commitment to our members in Pennsylvania and surrounding states and are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to interact with as many as 250,000 fellow hunters and sportsmen. We encourage all attendees to stand and fight for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and not cower from our principles in the face of media pressure. We urge you to follow the NRA and the outdoor industry's lead by voicing your displeasure with Reed Exhibitions both before and during the show and encourage them to reconsider their position. The NRA's future participation in the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show will be determined by Reed Exhibitions actions in response to the concerns raised by the NRA, the outdoor industry, and America's law-abiding gun owners.

I think we should comprise a list of all the vendors that pulled out from the show and be sure to patronize them and let them know we approve of their actions. Cheers NC

So I am to assume from all that PC double speak that the NRA is still going to have a presence at that show?

I figure the NSSF need to require Reed Expositions to crawl and grovel begging for forgiveness from the shooting public like Jim Zumbo x 1000. Now is the times we see our friends, our enemies and those who will cower in the corner. The ones that cower I hate the most.

I just read this and was unaware of Reed and their decision.
I applaud the vendors who have cancelled their attendance.
This is a big show and Reed is going to learn the hard way.

Wow. If so, that is absolutely titanic. Steve I guess the NSSF needs to find a new contractor. I figure the NSSF need to require Reed Expositions to crawl and grovel begging for forgiveness from the shooting public like Jim Zumbo x 1000. Now is the times we see our friends, our enemies and those who will cower in the corner. The ones that cower I hate the most. It is a sad state of current affairs... Jim Zumbo stepped on his own and was rightly blasted for it at Outdoor Life. Immediately thereafter and for a while longer Bill McRae came to Zumbo's defense and supported all aspects of his blog. Many captured it and have made it available on YouTube. Another Outdoor Life writer also supported JZ. While Good Ol' Boy JZ was dragged through a wringer (had to put up with Ted, even) McRae was given a pass... It is easy to see JZ is low-hanging fruit and likely Outdoor Life would not miss him... but are we so dense that we will eat our own in one case and allow some idiot a total pass in EXACTLY the same case? Where is the Outdoor Life boycott? Where is the Bill McRae boycott?

And this is the post made by McRae in support of JZ:
I agree wholeheartedly with Jim on this and I don't give a damn who does or does not like it. Furthermore, I applaud Jim for having
had the courage to say what he said.
