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.

I consider this to be good publicity. It might scare away liberals and attract conservatives to the state.

It looks like someone knowledgeable has already updated Wikipedia:
He is also known to be quite a liberally slanted propogandist. His political viewpoints often overshadow his travel viewpoints; in his blog he stated that he will boycott Arizona because he was "shocked beyond measure" that Arizona citizens could openly carry firearms as a form of protest, conveniently ignoring the fact that at least 17 other states allow the same high level of freedom that Arizona does. However, research show that wherever law abiding citizens are allowed to carry arms, the violent crime rates are generally low.

Aside from local ordinances, there are no laws against carrying a firearm openly in any states, is there?

Hopefully eneough people to vote out Juan McCain. Doesn’t liberal Vermont allow open-carry and NH?

Is this guy dumb or something? Arizonans have ALWAYS been able to “openly carry guns.” What a moron. BTW Arty, Grand Canyon is still there and still looks the same as it did the last time you were there.
To: Jet Jaguar
the state's laws allow people he described as "thugs" and "extremists" to openly carry firearms. Not only that, they shoot every third "travel icon"...The second one just left.

He should also be “shocked beyond measure” that there was no Thuggery going on.
