military style weapons banned at shot show?

[dZ]

We intend to sue the NSSF who have
banned "military style" weapons, suppressors, short barreled weapons and a variety of other politically incorrect items, even from
the "law enforcement" section of the Shot Show. This is interesting considering that fact the H&K proudly displayed their OICW
(20mm grenade launcher/M16 combination) in the "sporting" section of the show last year. Apparently the rules aren't the same
for everyone.

It's truly sad when an organization like the National Shooting Sports Foundation, who is SUPPOSED to represent gun manufacturers,
starts banning guns according to their "appearance". I'll keep you updated on this BS situation.

'suppressors, short barreled weapons and a variety of other politically incorrect items,'
****** including batons, swords (from United Cutlery) have been prohibited at most SHOT Shows. Class III has never been allowed though the manufacturers do usually have it available for viewing in the 'back room' of their booth for some people.

the "law enforcement" section of the Shot Show.
***** This is not surprising considering that it is the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and not an LE show. Until last year there was never a LE section at the show.

*****That H&K was NOT real. It was a plastic mock-up of what the OICW was proposed to look like. It was also mounted on a wall in a protective case and could not be touched.

I don't see this as some 'new' rules. NSSF has been pretty hunter focused since I first started going to the shows in 1984.
