The Sportsman Show in harrisburg Pa. is canceled. All the major TV stars and the gun companys along with other outdoor guides and retailers pulled out of the show when the promoter restricted the firearme that could be displayed.

At first I thought this was going to be an "I heard that..." type post but I checked out they're website and it's true.
I guess the voices of few can be heard. Amazing!

Add the NRA to that list. It looks like sportsmen & women from across the nation have voted with their feet. That it adversely impacts a very small segment of area in PA and likewise small segment of vendors who rely on bookings from that show is unfortunate. But the vast majority of vendors who boycotted are from and do represent a much larger group of fellow sportsmen than that;
