what's everybodys thoughts on the Harrisburg show ???
 

I heard about the boycott... Just wondering who was not going to go now???

Turkey Expo or gun show? Not all are from the State of PA.

And I don't know why a boycott?

JW

this boycot wouldnt have anything to do with the current idiots in goverment trying to disarm the hunters and gun owners would it .?

moved to the gun forum as it does not belong in Turkey Hunting -

JW

this is what has been posted on dougs about it

Eastern sportsman and outdoor show in Harrisburg PA. One of the largest in the nation. Runs Feb 2-10 and attracts several 100 thousand visitors.

The promoter of it decided given recent events he would ban assault style rifle displays at the show. 181 Vendors have pulled out so far since the news broke with more being added every day. Too many obviously to list, but a lot of big names like Primos, Whitetail Freaks, etc, along with major manufacturers and organizations.

Here's a list of just speaker/celebrities so far that were scheduled to be there that pulled out.

Wow...God bless them for making a stand and withdrawing.

I heard this show got cancelled because the vendors including the NRA pulled out.

The Shot Show in Las Vegas is also put on by Reed Ent.

Probably not anymore :cool2:

I hope they lose their hind qtrs over this debacle. And they can keep their butts overseas from here on out!

I second that - its about time we as sportsmen and women stood our ground. Phase II - how about boycotting the federal government?
