PA Sportsman's Show cancelled.

The Eastern Sportsman and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg - perhaps the biggest in the east - has been effectively cancelled due to a boycott following the organizers decision to ban
AR's and other controversial guns, magazines, ads. etc... from the show.

Cabela's was part of the lead group which now includeds hundreds of vendors who are boycotting. The protest has united sportsmen of all interests.

Shotgun News has a related article as do many central PA news outlets as well as the home page for the show.

There is remarkable support in the sporting ranks - you attack one, you attack all, and that is besides the obvious assault on our 2nd Ammendment right.

Good for them to stand up for their beliefs, one would hope it would send a message to organizers of these events...

I just found out today. But with all the billboards up, many might not know. It would have been Feb 2-10.

Those that have pre-paid can get refunds...... for now....
