HARRISBURG, DAULPHIN COUNTY - More businesses are pulling out of a Pennsylvania gun show.

More than 160 venders have joined in on the boycott of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

Reed Exhibitions who are the organizers of the show recently banned AR style rifles and high capacity ammunition magazines from being displayed or sold at the show.

The show is scheduled to take place in Harrisburg from February 2nd to February 10th.

Comments

This is not just a "gun show". That headline is misleading. It is The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. No where in that name does it say gun show. I agree with the businesses that pulled out of the show because they were defending their rights (and ours) by supporting the second amendment, but I also want to point out to that not all of the businesses that pulled out of the show are "gun businesses". A lot of them were archery and other outdoor/recreational style businesses.
