    Default REI members.. REI joining the anti-gun parade

    REI announced that they are not placing any orders with Vista Outdoors, the parent company of Camelbak, Giro, Bell, Camp Chef, Blackburn and also Savage Arms.

    REI Statement:
    :“We believe that it is the job of companies that manufacture and sell guns and ammunition to work towards common sense solutions that prevent the type of violence that happened in Florida last month. In the last few days, we’ve seen such action from companies like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart and we applaud their leadership,” REI said in statement.

    “This morning we learned that Vista does not plan to make a public statement that outlines a clear plan of action. As a result, we have decided to place a hold on future orders of products that Vista sells through REI while we assess how Vista proceeds. Companies are showing they can contribute if they are willing to lead. We encourage Vista to do just that.” "

    I called and cancelled my membership with them and let them know that I don't need other people or companies to decide for me what I should or should not be able to purchase or use. I encourage anyone else that enjoys firearms and the outdoors and has an REI membership to do so as well. The operator acknowledged that they are tracking this so I must not be the only one.
