Southport, CT –-(Ammoland.com)- Ruger has decided not to attend the upcoming Eastern Sports Show.
We are very frustrated by Reed Exhibitions’ foolish decision to ban the display of modern sporting rifles.
We feel that, as one of America’s firearms manufacturers, we must withdraw from the show as a commitment to the 2nd Amendment rights of our customers.
Nonetheless, we are very disappointed not to be attending the Eastern Sports Show.
We were looking forward to attending the show for the first time this year and meeting and supporting the 200,000+ sportsmen and women that attend this great celebration of the outdoors.
We hope the show will be successful for the many outfitters and other vendors who depend on the show for their annual business.

Great move on the part of Ruger, as they support our rights. I will continue to support Ruger, and I will continue to buy more Rugers, like my Mini-14, Single-Six, Mark I, Security Six, 10/22, and my Super Blackhawk.
Thanx Ruger, you did the right thing. You probably did more for the 2A, and your customers this way than spending $$ at a show that doesn't want you. Way to go. We're behind you.
Way to go Ruger, S&W, NRA,Cabelas and any others that will withdraw no second chances on this one. You (ESOS) can't be selective and say a vendor can participate but only with part of your wares, shame on you ESOS
Thank you Ruger. I will go out and buy a ruger 1911 as a way to say thank you. HAHA. I do plan on buying one when I can find one.
Thank you Ruger! I will also buy another one of your fine firearms and exercise my 2nd Amendment rights. The enemy is the enemy,no negotiations,no surrender.
I am going to goto my gunshop and get a ruger today in support of their decision not to attend the eastern gun show.
