In reply to the discussion: Cabela's pulls out of show after organizer drops weapons display [View all]intheflow
(28,780 posts)29. Well, this show wasn't about ranchers, it was about hunting.
So that part makes no frickin' sense. Also, they themselves have drawn attention to themselves with this action; a gun show in Pennsylvania is probably not on most ranchers' radar and probably would have drawn little blowback since I'd guess most ranchers have more to do than monitor which sporting goods shows Cabela's has a booth at. So while they would have had little blowback by a few, and possibly garnered some hunting rifle sales, they've drawn national negative attention on themselves and have lost any money they could have made at the show. Stupidity on parade. These people need to get out of the midwest more.

Couldn't afford to hunt & don't have the time to, as many of us work more for less these days.
