Years ago I attended the ESOS show hoping I would see modern and vintage guns displayed. To my disappointment, there were very few displays of this type. Considering the cost to get in plus parking, and the fact that I'm not a hunter and just do a little fishing, it just didn't interest me in attending anymore.
I feel the boycott was needed to send a message to the gun banners and those who jump on the politically correct bandwagon. Deciding to boycott the show was a big financial decision by those vendors who come from all over the country to attend this show. A good percentage of their income comes from bookings made at this show. When you take into consideration this fact plus the economic impact to the local economy, it's a big loss for Central Pa., the state, and the city of Harrisburg.
