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

Icehole coolers in Kerrville did the same I believe

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 liked ruger till right now. Very nice.

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.

WOW look at the list now! This is the source.

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

233 vendors so far have dropped out

If 233 vendors have pulled out, how many are left? I looked on the link, but couldn't fint it.

i have no idea what the ESOS is.

Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is a unique celebration of the authentic hunting and fishing traditions that are cherished by millions of Americans and their families. We are proud to celebrate these pastimes by featuring 1,200 exhibitors offering a diverse range of products from outfitters to fishing boats and RVs, from archery to art and from clothes to cabins.

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.

Where's TED?

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.

Guess my next bow, will be a Strother. Sad Mathews or Bowtech haven't pulled out.

Benelli needs to be added to the list.

The NRA should have been the leader on this! Another example of their lack of vision.
