It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

I went to that show a few years ago, and unless its changed,,, theres no big loss there.

 It sucked, with exception of that bow dude who shoots the baby aspirins tossed in the air.

in the mean time, it's probably going to hurt the businesses who did attend and those who make/break from it. It's not called "PA Gun Show" it's the  "Sports and Outdoors Show".  The rate at which assault weapons have been selling, dealers probably don't have any to sell there anyway.

It is a shame that businesses will suffer because of this but, I support their decision to boycott the show. Good for them!  slt

Show is postponed for now.

Quote
Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of modern sporting rifles (also called ARs) at the event. The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 in Harrisburg, PA.
