In case anyone missed me.....
I thought Rob Pincus was strongly anti-OC?
I hope you spent plenty of money, you do know you were paying MY taxes! :lol:
I went to SHOT Show in (I think) 2009. I believe it was last Orlando show.
It wore me out, and I know the Las Vegas shows are bigger than the Orlando one.
It was huge. Every time I went into one ballroom thinking it was the last, there was another room behind it, chocked full of goodies.
In just two weeks the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show kicks off in Harrisburg. It's billed as the largest show of its kind in the country, but today one of its' largest sponsors pulled out in protest.
But in the wake of the Newtown shootings and the recent response from President Obama pushing for a ban of assault weapons. CBS 21 News first told you last week the Eastern Sports and Outdoors show banned assault weapons.
But one of the major sponsors of the show announced through facebook they will no longer participate.
In a facebook status posted this afternoon, Cabela's stated, "After careful consideration regarding Cabela's business practices and the feelings of our customers, Cabela's will, unfortunately not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show."
We've also learned other local businesses like Trop Gun Shop in Elizabethtown, Kinsey's Outdoors from Mount Joy and Lancaster Archery Supply won't participate because of the ban.
We reached out to a spokesperson from Reed Expos, the company that hosts the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show, but they did not immediately respond to our calls.
Not at all official, but judging from the user comments flooding the Bass Pro Shops Facebook page, they have not decided to join Cabela's in protest. That is unfortunate. We really need for ALL the pro-RKBA communities to stick together on this.In just two weeks the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show kicks off in Harrisburg.

Well it took a while to figure out you were at THE National Shot Show.....Glad you had fun while the rest of us were suffering back home:lol:
Any new and improved things worth mentioning?
I have no idea what [Rob Pincus'] feelings about OC may be....I didn't ask.
"I am vemeh...see, I am so passionate about it I can't even talk about it. I am vehemently against the ass-clownery of people carrying openly to make a political statement."
Note also that he's voiced his opposition in multiple media.
Aside, I'll bet he also has a compact firearm.
