Travel to Arizona? No thanks!
Nice to see somebody reacting to this lunacy in Arizona... Travel icon Arthur Frommer says he won't be spending his tourism dollars at the Grand Canyon, or anywhere else in Arizona, because the state's laws allow people he described as "thugs" and "extremists" to openly carry firearms. The pioneering author of budget-travel guides said on his blog Wednesday that he was "shocked beyond measure" by reports that a dozen protesters openly carried guns and rifles outside a Phoenix building where President Barack Obama spoke on Monday. Frommer says he won't travel in a state where civilians carry loaded weapons as a means of political protest. On his blog (www.frommers.com/blog), Frommer wrote: "For myself, without yet suggesting that others follow me in an open boycott, I will not personally travel in a state where civilians carry loaded weapons onto the sidewalks and as a means of political protest. I not only believe such practices are a threat to the future of our democracy, but I am firmly convinced that they would also endanger my own personal safety there. And therefore I will cancel any plans to vacation or otherwise visit in Arizona until I learn more. And I will begin thinking about whether tourists should safeguard themselves by avoiding stays in Arizona." Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he spoke with Frommer on Thursday and invited him to visit the city to clear up any possible misconceptions about safety. |

My assumption is that anyone crazy enough to show up at a Presidential event openly carrying firearms (and not part of secret service, law enforcement, et cetera) is crazy enough to open fire with that firearm without much provocation. |

Does that lunacy extend to the black man seen carrying an AR-15, and a holstered handgun? The one a ditsy MSNBC reporter said was white? |

The black guy with the assault weapon was there to whip up the ni&&er haters. It was a staged protest, based upon bad thinking. It won't lead anywhere good if they keep it up, and keep it up they will. |

Go visit Herring so you two can swap your racism along with your spit. |

My point was that some ditsy reporter denounced white men, when in fact the video footage of the assault carrying person was a black man.

That's ok, My brother and his family went on vacation and visited the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Black Hills, Rushmore and the like. They had a really enjoyable time and didn't feel threatened by anyone. |
