Cabela's Gets It

[The_Busy_Mom]

I am growing to like Cabela's more each day. We buys lots of stuff there, including our last 2 handgun purchases and some ammo/reloading equipment. Thanks to Cabela's for not backing down.

I just sent them a message via their "Contact Us' link on the website thanking them for taking a stand for the 2A. Within a couple of minutes I had a individual response indicating they would forward to the corporate office. I would suggest everyone do the same.

We must remain united, both individuals and business, to win this battle. Supporting businesses that are on our side is not only important, but the right thing to do.

Eastern Sports hasn't pulled the Cabelas logo from their webpage yet. Here's a news link http://www.whptv.com/news/local/story/C ... KDvhg.cspx

They may very well be in a legal fight with Cabela's. Looking forward to seeing Reed Exhibitions die in the avalanche of "no income."

I emailed them a 4 line email that simply said thanks for doing the right thing and please let the executives at Cabela's know they have the support of their loyal customer during these troubling times.

Edited to add:

If you call their customer service they will take your info and pass it directly to the corporate offices:

Everyone is the firearms industry is well aware of the Jim Zumbo career destruction from 2007. No one wants to ride on that bus.

Since that link, Ruger, S&W, Jamie Gray (US Gold Medalist in 3x20 rifle), and the NRA have all pulled out as well.

Read about a small shop from San Antonio. They don't sell guns nor ammo, just some type of cup holders for hunters. Guy said he had already paid a 7K non-refundable deposit for his table and space. He has received hundreds of emails telling him to stand tall, and not show.

Guy said no one was willing to pony up the 7K he will lose by not showing. He also knows he will be blacklisted by many in the gun community if he does appear and try to recoup some of the 7 K.

Rock. Hard place. Etc.

Go to their facebook page, both for the show and for Reed Exhibitions. Comments are awesome...

That is indeed a bad position to be in. What would be really cool is if a big-pockets company like Cabelas (for instance) would step up and reimburse him that $7,000 as part of a deal to become the exclusive distributor of his product.......or something like that. Everybody wins then, except the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show people.

NSSF Statement on the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

We have just learned that Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

In the days following Reed Exhibitions' announcement that modern sporting rifles would be prohibited from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, the leadership of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has been in intense, frank discussions with Reed Exhibitions management in an effort to reverse this unacceptable decision. These discussions reached an impasse.

NSSF is in no way affiliated with, nor does it participate in or exhibit at this show in any way. Reed Exhibitions does, however, manage the NSSF-owned SHOT Show (though Reed manages the SHOT Show, all SHOT Show decisions, policies and actions are made at NSSF's direction).

Because of Reed's recent actions, NSSF is considering all options regarding the management of future SHOT Shows.
