Much appreciated change in their attitude vs how they were while the ol man was still in charge back in the 90's!

List keep getting longer. Nice to see the solidarity. Even Canadians like Jim Shockey are boycotting the show to support the 2nd amendment.

I think another GSR Scout might just be in order as my youngest son has been shooting mine almost as much as me. He thinks it's "cool".
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

Let's set up a Ruger appreciation day. I just bought my first GSR and came with a card for discounts at shopruger.com. So maybe some gear to show my support is in order.

The board of directors for that show is about to receive an education... Also, imagine the education, if all consumers would boycott as well

I know this is way up there and there is no way that I would ever attend but I have left them a few comments on FaceBook along with Reed Exhibitors. I also plan on calling them today.
I am very happy to see how many have dropped them. Serves them right.
If anyone wants to call, their # is 800/467-5656
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

i have no idea what the ESOS is.
Sometimes a little self-therapy is good for the soul... getting out to mother nature, finding peace in reading a good book, re-learning how to take care of yourself.

Got it SatNite,,1200 vendors.
Thank you, I must have glossed over it when I read it earlier. I wonder how many would have to pull out before they called it off? It would be good to see.

I had no previous plans to get a new Ruger anytime soon, but went to Cabela's today because they were on the list and purchased a new Ruger firearm. Asked to speak to the Manager on Duty and told him why I did what I did.
Plan on contacting Cabela's and Ruger corporate tomorrow to tell them as well.

Benelli needs to be added to the list.
The NRA should have been the leader on this! Another example of their lack of vision.
