Thank you for posting the names of the supporters, so I can support them with my business. As a Kalifornia resident, most people have no idea how far our liberties have been cut back for political reasons. Most “laws” are ridiculous research, that in reality have negative impacts by the “environmentalists”. Fienstein killed the very big horn sheep they set out to “save”. No provisions for even Fish and Game to go in and remove the ewe from poisoning the water source. She’s in charge of the “intelligence” committee??

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Adam Jacoby — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 03:12:28 +0000

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.

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.
