The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show: $44mil. Lost

[SCORPIO]

Mayor Thompson is a twitt, she twice referenced ILLEGAL military style weaponry, UM, Linda, they aren't Illegal, yet anyway.

This debacle was caused by a show promoter that unilaterally decided to exclude a large and profitable sector of the LEGAL firearms market from its show. Many of the boycotting vendors were directly affected as they wern't allowed to sell their products.
Its unlikely that it will be rescheduled as some time in June (I think) is the earliest opeinig the Farm Show Complex has for this show. By then most outfitters will be busy in the field, and show attendance would be very low as well.
What I find hypocritical in Thompson's statement is the fact that the Farm Show Complex is host to about three LARGE guns shows per year and they most certainly have A LOT of 'modern sporting rifles' for sale there. I attended two such shows there last fall. She never mentioned being upset about the presence of the guns then.
Harrisburg is in terrible financial condition and this certainly won't help their bottom line either.
