National Shooting Sports Foundation 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.

More Michigan Gun Grabbing Pushed

A Lansing Michgian State Representative, Andy Schor (Democrat, go figure) is pushing a measure to stop open carry of firearms.  On the other side is Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO), attorney Steve Dulan:  “I call this type of legislation the  creation of mass murderer empowerment zones,” Dulan said. “When you  establish, in law, a place where law-abiding citizens are not allowed to bring weapons for self defense, you are creating a magnet for these  mass killers.”  More here…

Trade Show Boycott

In a surprise move, just weeks before the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is to open, Reed Exhibitions, on Jan. 17, announced it was banning modern sporting rifles from the show. The show is the largest outdoor sports show in the United States and perhaps the world.

When the word spread at the firearms industry’s largest trade show, the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show (sm), reaction among exhibitors and attendees was fierce.  More here…

Gun Control Worth Supporting

By Glen Wunderlich

While gun-control advocates scream for more gun laws, Americans are lining up to purchase firearms in unprecedented numbers.  Criminal background checks have been recorded with monthly figures topped only by successive months.  American citizens across the nation are arming themselves like never before.

With gun control in crosshairs of many, it seems appropriate to discuss the merits of gun control, but not in the traditional sense.  Law-abiding, responsible American gun owners – be they city dwellers or living off the grid – should be able to agree to two types of gun control:  1) Keeping guns inaccessible to those that shouldn’t have them, and 2) Hitting your target.

The first one is easy.  When not in use, guns should be locked up and a good gun safe will take care of that, but even trigger locks are better than nothing.

The second point can be problematic for new shooters, and Read more
