Bass Pro Cancelled!!!! CCW Fashion Show - Presented by GOAL and MWGO
- Thread starter EddieCoyle
- Start date
What about people who made travel and hotel arrangements around this event... are they going to refund those people too?
And for the other thread about if this time it’s worse than after Sandy Hook. Like I said in that post, it’s defintely much worse.

I'm upper-decking them tomorrow.
Just to play devils advocate.... could there be some other reason, not related to "cuz guns", that they had to postpone/cancel it? My first thought when I saw the announcement was maybe it was weather related - but going in to Friday that would still be quite a stretch.
In other words, was any explanation offered for the cancellation? If not, then it would seem we're all just assuming the reasoning. Even if it is a likely reason/excuse, its still just an assumption.

I just received the email from GOAL stating that BP corporate office cancelled the event due to, "unforeseen circumstances".
We should still flood the general manager et al with emails complaining about this. Their emails are from the link below wrt the Foxborough store:

Don Boozer

No. No way. Not. A. Chance.
You're The Man!
My email received stated postponed.
As EC wrote they are not new to the PR game. They "postponed" the show.
We need to make them lose this round.

Everybody needs to take a page out of Bob P's book and do this. Don't copy Bob's email, write your own with the same talking points.
I want the president of Bass Pros' Inbox to blow the f up tomorrow.
I'm going to write one that I'll post here in a little while.
This. Make the local a**h*** regret the idiot decision he made the best way you possibly can - the angry notice of corporate. NO branch manager EVER wants angry corporate breathing down his neck. f*** writing to the local guy, go right to corporate leadership

There's nothing wrong with Bass Pro Shop that a pair of balls couldn't fix.
Let's dance.
Edit: came back as address not found.
I'm emailing the general manager at Foxborough instead. Ed Cuthbertson: [email protected]

If corporate made the decision, then I don't see them breathing down the neck of the local manager, so add the local manager to the list with corporate when emailing.

The email address for the CEO bounced back (at least for me).
Emails to the local addresses seem to have gone through.

Cuz NRA [affiliate]?
I doubt this was done at the store manager level. It could also be pressure applied to/by someone outside the organization, perhaps the prominent owner of a certain piece of property in Foxboro? I’m sure nothing gets printed in the Globe that he’s not [made] aware of.

Somebody post a valid list of corporate and local email addresses and I will be sending this:
Dear Xxxxx;
I have been an avid shooter and outdoors-man for most of my 54 years. My wife is an avowed camper and hiker, she refuses to own a non-4wd vehicle, and I don't mean X-Drive BMW either. Both of my daughters shoot regularly, they both have "starter kits" awaiting their 21st birthdays to include a 20ga shotgun, 9mm handgun, and 22 rifle along with ammo and appropriate "storage". We spend thousands of dollars annually on supplies and equipment related to these activities.
Simply put, "due to unforseen circumstances" I will no longer be spending ANY of that money at BPS or Cabela's, or any other company you may own or be affiliated with. I used to enjoy coming to Patriot Place several times a year to watch a game, go to Toby Keith's, or shop in some of the other stores there. Pretty much every trip included a stop in your store. Well, no more. Based on your utterly incomprehensible decision to "postpone" the GOAL CC Fashion Show, I will never again set foot in your store again, either in Foxboro or anywhere else in the USA. If you feel that you can survive on the theoretical business provided by SJW liberals over the proven business of myself and my friends, I wish you luck and bid you farewell.
You may not be aware, or care, but the single fastest growing segment of the gun-owning demographic is young and middle aged women. My 51 year-old wife has more holsters than purses or boots as she refuses to let fashon dictate her carry choice, and my daughters are, as I said above, both firm 2A supporters and shooters. My daughter's generation is among the most socially active, and will be spending more money for more years than the "soccer moms" you are trying to appease. Rest assured that even without my reminding them that they WILL remember who you think is more important, and will vote with THEIR wallets long after I am gone.
I know that you can easily dismiss my letter as an isolated response, and your multi-billion dollar corporation can certainly withstand losing my $2-3k/year annual expenditure. I also know that virtually every avalanche starts with a single pebble rolling downhill, eventually burying or obliterating everything in its path.
Yours,
