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.
That was a much stronger worded statement than what some of the others have made. That is good. Thank You Ruger.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I noticed that even some non firearm related companies auch as PSE and IBO have withdrawn from the show in support of 2 nd amendment rights...good for them.

I have always been a HUGE Ruger fan. I see no reason for that to change any time soon.

Although I don't like some of the celebrities on the list I now have a new respect for them for standing up for something.

Glad that old turncoat Bill is gone, otherwise Ruger would be right there with ESOS.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I think I might be needing another 10/22 soon. Guess I will buy it retail in support of Ruger.

Bear Archery and Hunters Safety Systems did the same thing. The board of directors for that show is about to receive an education...
