The Hyatt hotel in Witchita Kansas is a “gun-free zone.” No gats allowed. Normally, that is. For four days (ending this Sunday), the Sunflower State hotel will “allow” guests to pack heat. That’s thanks to Kansas Republican Chairman Kelly Arnold, who negotiated a suspension of the chain’s no-guns-allowed policy for the duration of the state’s Republican convention. “They wanted our business more than they wanted the signs up,” Arnold told kansas.com. Arnold said the Hyatt’s gun ban was a “make it or break it” issue. “The Second Amendment is a fundamental right. This is part of the Republican platform.” You’ll be heartened to hear that the entire convention is concealed carry friendly. Will Arnold be tooled-up as he rubs elbows with his fellow elephants? “The whole point of conceal and carry is concealed. We don’t want other people to know if we have firearms.”
From the Sept 14th 2012 WSJ.
“Versa Capital Management’s combination of its four newspaper companies has created a 1,650-person media company on more sound financial footing together than it had apart, said Michael Bush, the newly-named chief executive of Civitas Media LLC.
New York-based Versa said on Wednesday that it was consolidating its media holdings, including Freedom Central, Heartland Publications, Impressions Media, and Ohio Community Media, into one company called Civitas.
The publishing company’s portfolio now includes 35 local daily newspapers and 63 weekly publications across 12 states in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions, with a combined weekly circulation of 1.6 million. Some papers now under Civitas Media include The Times Leader, the Pittston Sunday Dispatch among others.”
Courts have repeatedly held that your home is your castle and that your hotel room is your home. You do not give up 4th amendment rights, that’s for sure. Do you give up 2nd amendment rights? Do they have case law or state law to back this up?
Hyatts policy sucks if you are moving or traveling for a competition or just want to protect yourself. It makes me wonder what the heck they are afraid of?
So, if they do publish it, then concealed carry doesn’t become so concealed. If conceal is allowed and not so concealed why not just open carry at that point? Wink wink, nudge nudge, grin grin.
Does anyone REALLY know that explosives are NOT in ANYTHING???? Evacuate the planet!!!!!
If this had been my child I may have turned that mag. into a dangerous weapon by shoving it up someone’s a$$! Come on, single bullet lock down the entire school! Finger gun out for a week, etc…
It’s not gay underway, it’s only queer at the pier.
I almost commented on the “leaning against the harness” back when the first video posted. I wondered how you felt about that.
The answer is that it bothered you, until it didn’t. Focus.
Very cool writing. Thanks.
When did they start deploying tacticool air castles?
This entire comment section advertises the outright ignorance or even right out stupidity we have in the firearms world today. It’s called Google, it’s great.
Pablo made the cardinal sin. He tried to smuggle guns into mexico without giving Holder his cut. Pablo will be a long time in Gitmo repenting of his greed.
He’s got your back unless you defend yourself from assault. Then he’ll call you a criminal, ruin credibility and way of life for you, then call the culprit a victim and a son he never had.
Did anyone else lose focus when he said ladies pants? Still not sure who wrote the article.
Meh. I’ll stick to my Kershaw Leek, also a Ken Onion. This knife seems like a step backwards…
Wow, got deleted and banned in less than three minutes. They sure are on top of things there at MDA Politburo. Will see if I can get blacklisted on all 50 state pages. Challengers?
And, yeah! Our town made the LOTD! I feel so proud…
