He has already spent $7,000 to secure his booth at the show, money the show's promoters will not refund, Olien said. If he joins the boycott, that money is lost. It's not chump change for a five-year-old small business. He also risks alienating Reed Exhibitions, the show promoter, that also runs shows he needs to attend closer to home in Texas and Colorado later this year.

Well, Olien felt he could 'glom onto' the outdoor scene and make some bucks at this show - okay, it's capitalism. That outdoor scene includes many, many of its exhibitors who are gun sellers, gun accessory sellers, etc. They decided to boycott a promoter who apparently is in this only for the money and is a liberal pussy freedom-taker at heart. Olien has to live with his choice here....he'd better choose wisely. If he exhibits, I'll damned sure look twice at any cup-holder for outdoors I ever see, for sure.

I would think if Reed Exhibitions keeps this policy, they won’t have any more shows this year. In fact they may as well head on back to Jolly old England and forget their shows in America.
