Best company in America in almost every way.

[Big Skyz]

I'm glad they are doing this. FoxPro the number one leader in electronic game calls has also decided to not attend. I'm glad to see companies take a stand.

[Buckrub]

The Crush couple left too.

Taking a stand is not very popular these days. Glad to see folks with backbone and principles.

[Big Skyz]

From what I understand the list of companies opting out is growing. Hope this isn't just a flash in the pan and that companies and people will stand strong against messing with 2nd Amendment Rights.

[Buckrub]

Quite a list. Some huge, some not. Here is the current list of those who have pulled out:

Pretty interesting stuff. Not sure how I feel about it.

[Big Skyz]

By the way so far none of these companies are having their money refunded. They are doing this and taking it in the short because they want to stand on principle. I'm very impressed!

[Buckrub]

ESS was just canceled. Their excuse is lame beyond words. The real reason is that everyone pulled out rather than give in on principle!

[Thumper]

Reed Exhibitions of the United Kingdom ...

'Nuf said!

Maybe they'll take their buddy, Piers Morgan, back home with them.
