Smith & Wesson Withdraws from Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show
Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show Says No to Black Rifles
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--(Ammoland.com)- Smith & Wesson, a U.S. based leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced that the Company will not attend nor will it support or participate in the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The announcement comes after the decision of show management company, Reed Exhibitions, to prohibit the display of modern sporting rifles in this year’s event.
James Debney, President and CEO of Smith & Wesson, said, “”As a market leader in the firearm industry and an iconic brand that spans 160 years of American history, we believe it is important to make our position perfectly clear: We support the Second Amendment and the rights of our law-abiding customers to purchase these and all legal firearms.
Therefore, we are unable to support any organization or event that prohibits legal firearms, or otherwise restricts a citizen’s lawful and constitutional rights.””

Excellent News! Time to take a stand. I hope the attendance of the show plummets.
This is great. Smith & Wesson is stepping up and doing the right thing.
