Not only will Bane–host of Outdoor Channel’s Shooting Gallery–and his colleagues abstain from filming the state, they will also not recommend Colorado in their shows.

“The message we will take to our viewers and listeners is that these proposed laws are so dangerous to hunters and any other person, be she a fisherman or a skier who brings a handgun into the state for self-defense, that we cannot recommend hunting, fishing, or visiting Colorado,” Bane wrote. “We reach millions of people, and, quite frankly, we have a credibility that Colorado government officials can no longer match.”

That's what I like to see. I was fortunate to have Michael in my Gunsite class.

Comcast cable said they wouldn't be taking any gun advertising as of this month.

All companies need to stand up to Colorado's nonsense! That's not the answer, people.
