Smith & Wesson® Withdraws from Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show®

[GF]

We can learn from this too, I've seen threads lately that promote giving in "just a little" to "common sense bla' bla' bla'..."

To hell with that.

Pick a side, there's only two.

As things progress gun buyers may want to pressure manufacturers to move out of states that have repressive gun laws. Remington in New York state comes to mind. Why should states that have these restrictions on law abiding citizens reap economic benefit from the products they seek to ban?

Way to go S&W

 

[Magster]

I am so proud of S&W, way to go!!!!!

 

[RYNO]

I saw that Ten Point Cross Bows has also pulled out of the Pa. show. Good deed for all that have!

 

[bobnieder]

Way to stand tall, Smith & Wesson!

I read at another site (not gun site) but cannot confirm it that over 150 vendors have pulled out of that show!

As of 5:30pm this afternoon (2/22), the count is at 167.

Outstanding. Way to go S&W. I know a few fellow shooters that are not attending. I haven't been there in years. Too many campers and boats for me.

I hope half the building is empty. Think Reed will catch on ??

 

[Scopes]

100% agree. Everyone I know is boycotting the event this year.

Dear Smith and Wesson,

Thank you for listening and deciding not to support the ESOS.

You have really made a loyal customer happy and I personally will buy more of your new products because of this upstanding decision.

God Bless S&W and God Bless America. United we stand.

DG

P.S. If you really want to boost sales and make another statement please consider getting rid of that stupid Internal Lock.

 

[DelFuego]

Yeah, I love you S&W!

 

[S&W5906]

If all manufacturers stand together, the show will be forced to change its stand. Or close up.

 

[Scopes]

Yeah, I love you S&W!

I'll reserve that for when they get their act together on the back ordered mags.

Thanks to Smith and Wesson for supporting our 2nd Amendment rights

 

[samdweezel05]

Good for them. I live in New York and it's good to see the big guys standing up for what they believe in. We are all in for a fight.

 

[pawncop]

Good deal. We, as gun owners have done nothng wrong and I am tired of those that treat us like we have.

 

[Engineer1911]

You all are gonna' miss Piers Morgan and his brilliant rhetoric.

 

[mmcwillis]

Just as a note.... it is REED that organizes the S.H.O.T. Show that just ended

What hypocrisy on REEDS part

Way to go Smith and Wesson!!

The SHOT is put on by NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation).

The attitude of S&W, Ruger and others can be contagious. These show promoters better make up their minds what side of the fence they are on.
