   You can add Campbell Cameras to that list
2. Bill Baker on January 22, 2013 at 1:45 PM said:

   If your a vendor that does show up, you have to think about all the people who are going to then believe you support a ban.
3. Joe on January 22, 2013 at 2:10 PM said:

   Congrats to the venders that pulled out. I will not support any vender that supports a ban on ar-15 type rifles or 30 rd p-mags by paying to be in this show. period.

   we are a canadian outfitter and are suppose to attend the eastern sports show. it will be our first show and just starting our business. we do not support this gun ban. should we still attend the show and try to promote our business
5. Ron Jones on January 22, 2013 at 8:08 PM said:

   Well its like this Lisa. We realize some business cant afford not to not go… Each company has to go what they can afford to do to take a stand. At the least it wouldn’t hurt you to put something pro second amendment on your website. I will be buying from cabela’s in the future. Just made a $200.00 purchase from them last month. Midwayusa and cabela’s have my business!!

   i am not against guns or people owning them, have many myself. just wondering if the phrase RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS had been penned RIGHT TO BEAR A MUSKET. the firearm of the period would this boycott by hunting celebs and companies be taking place.

   I’ve been going to the Eastern Outdoor Show every year since I can remember and honestly I don’t remember seeing AR15′s being sold there anyway. It’s never been much of a gun show to begin with. I’m all about out second ammendment rights and I hate what’s going on in this country right now but boycotting a show that isn’t known for firearm sales to begin with doesn’t seem profitable.
8. Cope Reynolds on January 22, 2013 at 10:34 PM said:

   Adam Jacoby, principles are ALWAYS worth boycotting for. For some of us, money is NOT the bottom line. I will sacrifice my entire business for my values. I don’t care if they don’t sell many guns there or not, what matters is THEIR principles do NOT line up with mine!
9. Blaine Nay on January 22, 2013 at 11:11 PM said:

   I thanks to all the exhibitors who are withdrawing from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show managed by Reed Exhibitions.

   It doesn’t matter whether anti-gun bigotry comes from outside the shooting sports or from a segment of shooters that views the other guy’s guns to not be politically correct.

   We all must stand united against any form of intolerance toward any responsible and lawful segment of the shooting sports — regardless of the source of that intolerance. If they can ban one category of gun simply because of the way it looks, eventually all of them will be banned due to an unacceptable appearance.

   Guns are a lot like dogs or cars or sandwiches. Everyone has a favorite brand or action type or caliber. That doesn’t mean the others must be banned — not even the pit bulls or Edsels or ham on rye.

   Thanks again.

    This is great news. Kudos to all who stand on their principles of freedom! I’d like to see a list of those companies that will be showing up for this politically correct farce of an outdoor show!!

    its way past time for all’HUNTERS’ to sit this one out….be a no show at the show..message sent…
12. MNgriz on January 23, 2013 at 10:43 AM said:

    A big, heart-felt thank you to all the vendors who have made the decision to support the 2nd Amendment. We can’t afford to let the gun grabbers win on this issue. Those of you trying to rationalize attending the show because “it’s never been much of a gun show anyway”….just read down the list of those boycotting the show and see how many of them have any direct connection to modern sporting rifles. They are losing money for the sake of unity on this very important issue. Again, thanks to all the vendors on the list and any others who cancel before the show. And thumbs down to those who attend.
13. Douglas on January 23, 2013 at 1:25 PM said:

    Good for them, I support several of these companies in purchasing items. I hope Midway USA is not supporting them. I would hate having to stop doing business with them. If companies are willing to sell out their convictions then they can do without my monetary support.
14. TheAC on January 23, 2013 at 1:27 PM said:

    Not to worry, I am sure that there will be plenty of home made jams and jellies, candles and dream catchers for everyone at the show!
15. TripWire on January 23, 2013 at 1:49 PM said:

    The only people attending this show will be those people that are only into guns that are on the “acceptable” list. That’s great, until they get around to trying to ban whatever gun they do care about and by then it will be too late.
16. ajnsr on January 23, 2013 at 2:09 PM said:

    Right on !!!! Let’s see how much money they make if no one shows up
17. Buck on January 23, 2013 at 2:13 PM said:

    This is GREAT , it is about time we stuck together against the rabid anti-gunners and those too weak to stand up to them .

    Good to see companies standing for the 2nd amendment. I am a hunter, a sports/recreational shooter and have served my country (in four combat zones). I have single shot rifles/pistols and I have automatics. They all have a place depending on your interests. The second amendment is about keeping ALL of these items available to the people.

    I would remind you that the founding fathers were NOT afraid of the people they were afraid of the government they were creating. The purpose of the second amendment was to keep the government honest (ie not tyrannical) by ensuring that armed citizens could protect themselves from the government. All this discussion about “you don’t need 30 rds for hunting deer” or “the second ammendment was about the national guard” is just misdirection. it was all about the people ensuring that they keep their own rights by being able to overthrow an abusive government. Anything the government can own to oppress us we should be able to own to defend ourselves. Read the founding fathers and stand for the truth.

    Livin’ County T-shirts & Apparel will NOT be attending the ESOS – We’re hoping our fans spread the word and support the vendors, especially the small ones like us who are going to take a significant financial impact for standing up for our rights.
21. Roscoethehat on January 23, 2013 at 4:09 PM said:

    This is the way we must ALL start standing firm and together. So glad to see Leadership in the ranks of the firearms community. This is the kind of ACTION that makes folks want to help and participate. SALUTE
22. BigR on January 23, 2013 at 5:09 PM said:

    I’m going to email as many of the businesses I can and let them know that I support them in boycotting the Pa. show. I am printing up the list of boycotters, and will buy their products & services and recommend all my friends to do the same.
23. Richard on January 23, 2013 at 5:09 PM said:

    Glad to hear everyone is pulling out. Maybe they won’t even have the damn show.
24. Scott on January 23, 2013 at 6:32 PM said:

    You can add my company to the list. Dynamic finishes hydrographic.
25. VT Patriot on January 23, 2013 at 6:35 PM said:

    Thanx to all these protesters, I just saved myself a long trip to the show. No sense to me going all that distance to see a bunch of folks that approve of the gun grabbers ideas. I’ll use the money saved to support and buy from the businesses listed above.
26. Paul Kuehn on January 23, 2013 at 8:16 PM said:

    I will share and post this and support every vendor I can. I definitely
    support this.
27. Joe in PA on January 23, 2013 at 8:23 PM said:

    Well we should all consider who we vote for in the coming elections. Senator Casey’s response to my concerns was: “As you may know, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Pennsylvania has a fine hunting and sporting tradition, and I will defend the right to bear arms as it is enshrined in our Constitution. However, I also believe that the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School highlights very serious dangers posed to public safety by the misuse of certain weapons and technology originally developed for warfare. According to reports, the shooter was able to kill many children and adults very quickly because he possessed a military-style semiautomatic weapon. He also allegedly used magazines containing up to 30 rounds of ammunition and carried hundreds of rounds more. After much reflection and careful study of the issue, I have decided to support a federal assault weapons ban as well as legislation restricting high capacity clips. In light of what occurred at Sandy Hook, these are two measures that will lessen the chances that this will happen again soon.” So let Senator Casey know how you feel and I hope he enjoys his retirement.
28. Cary Quint on January 23, 2013 at 8:45 PM said:

    WE need to support as many of those companies and sponsors as possible. Vote with our money.

    Thanks for all the people that support

    I’m from Illinois and I’m so proud to all of you who stand up for our principle. It gonna be a long battle ahead and we all have to support each other in this time of crisis.

    we are glad to see americans and people who do business in america make a stand for our constitutional rights and duties to choose to bear arms.we will not support any sportshow that conflicts with our god given rights to our second ammedment.

    Good to see all these Vendors standing up for what’s right. This type of action is what it’s going to take to defeat Obama’s Agenda!

    We at A Calculated Response LLC happily support the boycott. Molon Labe!
36. Kevin Hanley on January 25, 2013 at 7:04 AM said:

    Please list all affiliations of Reed Exhibitors so I can be sure to never patronize anything that will help them line their pockets.

    This is a message from your founding fathers Thanks for stand with us. We wrote the Constitution with yours and our freedom in mine!

    Thanks again
    Your Founding Fathers
38. Kevin Miller on January 26, 2013 at 2:42 PM said:

    What a great show of support from the vendors for this show and the patrons that don’t show-up and support the hosting company. Now we need to carry this support forward and make sure ANY politician that defies our 2nd amendment right enjoys their unemployment by not being re-elected. It’s time for Americans to take back America! Support the companies that have supported the American way of life. THANK YOU.
39. cloudbound on January 27, 2013 at 6:15 AM said:

    The 2nd Amendment wasn’t about hunting.But the policians are defining the 2A that way and are trying to create a division between hunters and gun owners. They keep saying that the ban bills “Will not effect guns used for hunting and other ‘sporting purposes’.And they define sporting purpose. To those that say the show wasn’t a gunshow, you’re right in the respect of a normal buy,sell,trade show.But the name Eastern SPORTS and Outdoor Show is inclusive of all shooting sports.And this is the tip of the iceberg. Already in NY they are asking Gunshows to not display black rifles. Some hunters need study history and realize that once they start it’s a short hop to take their Gamemasters and Wingmasters.

    The intolerant, bigoted anti gunners will do anything to subvert our 2nd amendment. What they don’t realize is that the 2nd amendment is what makes all the other amendments valid. Without it the Obamamongers will be able to take away every other right they have.
