As all my friends know, I'm a strong pro-carry person. I always carry a gun, even on the motorcycle. It's everyone's right as a law abiding American Citizen to be armed. I think this is especially important for women to be properly protected. There's been a couple of times that simply a quick branishing of the weapon has kept a possible 'perp' from getting out of hand.
Now it seems that Arthur Fromer of Frommer's Travel Guides, thinks that because I, and many other patriotic citizens, carry weapons we are "thugs" and "extremists". Well, I take exception to that and am deeply offended. I will never use his travel books again! And we travel frequently.
Just thought y'all might want to know about this little development.
Travel Icon Says He'll Avoid Arizona Because of Gun Laws
Associated Press Source
PHOENIX — 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 author of budget-travel guides said on his blog Wednesday that he was "shocked beyond measure" by reports that protesters openly carried guns and rifles outside a Phoenix building where President Barack Obama spoke on Monday.
Frommer says he won't personally travel in a state where civilians carry loaded weapons as a means of political protest.
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he spoke with Frommer Thursday and invited him to visit the city to clear up any possible misconceptions about safety.
I guess he'll need to boycott, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Detroit, New York City, Memphis, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, The NFL, the labor Unions, the border, all of Mexico, etc. Lots of "citizens (and non-citizens)carrying firearms in these areas too. Many of them FOTP (Friends of the President) but not many with State sponsored safety and legal training, or criminal background checks as in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me Frommer at the mouth. This idiot ought to research what happened in Killeen Texas at the Lubys cafeteria. Before our right to carry laws in Texas, this guy drove his truck into the building and shot several people. A lady who lost her parents in the incident was a major force in getting our Concealed Handgun permits. She had a gun in her car that day, and she said that if she had been allowed to have it on her person, she was in close enough range to shoot back and possibly save her parents lives. It is obivious that this guy lives in the same out of touch world most liberals reside in.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking site found you via Domestic Terrorist Logo at Feed Your ADHD. I use to own many guns but have given most away to the kids and only retain a few now. My favorate is my Desert Eagle and my first gun ever, an old(very old now) J.C.Higgins 22 rifle. Always have the Eagle in the car.
