Anybody planning on going to the show up in Harrisburg in two weeks may want to rethink, controversy bubbling up there. Reed Exhibitions that puts on the show has banned all tactical/AR stuff from the show, exhibitors are pulling out fast in protest and lots of attendees are staying home in support.

I have attended this show for approx the last 25 years. I am going to pass this year unless they change their decision. Todd you may check to make sure your guy is coming as alot of people are boycotting the show this year.
Examples......Cabela`s Ralph & Vicki, Gene & Barry Wensel, Stan Potts, Fred Eichler,many of the large vendors that are the backbone of the show.... just check out facebook for a who`s who of cancelled appearances.

Rumors are that they are going to reverse their decision!! They've lost too many vendors & celebrities.

Postponed is a PR way of saying canceled. Vendors are getting their deposits back

Guess the decision to ban certain guns/accessories cost them a few pennies....
