We will not attend the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year (Feb. 2-10 2013) due to their new policy banning "AR type rifles and high capacity magazines." We look forward to this show every year as an opportunity to meet with manufacturer's representatives and view new products coming to market. We will strive to find other avenues to find new products and will spend the time and money allocated for the show elsewhere.
Let me be clear. Those items are not the sole attraction for me at the show, but I do not support the decisions made my the hosts. As such, I cannot in good faith support their business in any way.
The decision on the part of the hosts is disappointing, but we have seen this before. For those of you old enough to remember the passing of the 1994 "Assault Weapons Ban," you may recall companies like Colt and Smith & Wesson caving to political pressure. The result was certain manufacturers stopped manufacturing certain products or started producing modified products with the effort and intention to set themselves apart from the issues.
In doing so, they are trying to draw attention away from themselves, point the finger at someone else and say, "It isn't us, it's them." This is unacceptable. It does nothing to support your rights as free men and women of the United States, and only serves to fracture our community. This is a time to pull together.
I sincerely hope the folks at the  Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show reverse this decision. If they do, and only if they do, will they see any of my business again.

I get a lot of questions relating to not only firearms but our rights to own those firearms. Invariably, I get asked about the National Rifle Association, my opinion, and why or how to join. Here's the bottom line: If you aren't a member, you don't really have a horse in the race when it comes to protecting your Second Amendment rights. The NRA is the longest standing civil rights organization in the US as well as the standard when it comes to firearms safety and training. It's that simple. For those of you still on the fence or thinking "I don't really like some of what the NRA has to say," I still urge you to join, because you cannot influence the NRA from the outside. Become a member, and make your voice heard. Join the fight! To make joining the NRA as easy as possible, follow the link below (or on the home page) and you will receive a $10 discount on your 1 Year Membership. As always, be sure to tell them Black Bag Resources sent you. They'll know you're one of the good guys!
