Gun owner boycott of Marriott Hotels starting up

[SC-Texas]

From Howard NEmerov:

Last week, fellow journalist Paul Valone told me that the Charlotte Marriott City Center took well into tens of thousands of dollars from Grass Roots North Carolina and their guests, and invited them in for their “Gala for Gun Rights” last Friday night during the NRA convention. Then, while the gala was in full swing, Marriott posted “no guns” signs at all the entrances, turning all who carried firearms into instant criminals, according to North Carolina law.

Passing it on to other forums as well. Pretty shady.

Maybe NRA told them to:


NRA bans guns from annual convention

What's the deal with the no-carry at an NRA convention???

So what? You can't carry at any gun show I've ever been to in this state!

Of course you can, otherwise you could not buy or sell a gun. I carry at all gun shows.

i think they always ban carry. I have never heard of a convention where they allowed it.

I never agreed with that either. Oh well..

I only consider a weapon "carried" if it is loaded and ready to shoot (otherwise known as "Condition 1")...and most of us cannot do that at gun shows...

Texas law does not differentiate between loaded and unloaded, so if you can legally carry unloaded, you can legally carry loaded.

Not legally binding, since as I already said, Texas law does not differentiate between loaded and unloaded.

It's not a 30.06 sign nor is it federal property, now is it?

Unless they give verbal notice at the door, or written in the disclaimer that you sometimes sign, then it doesn't require the 30.06 sign.

I believe if the Marriott posted a sign banning guns after the event started and people were already in the building, they could not be held accountable by law. I'd say any lawyer fresh out of law school could handle that court case.

I've never had either at a gun show.

That said, I've never brought a gun to a show (bought a couple though) and would probably respect their wishes anyway. Property rights are just as important as gun rights. It's their show, so I'll respect their rules. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right, after all.

 

[SC-Texas]

Anyone see any 30.06 signs at Texas Marriots?

 

[SiscoKid]

To me this is nitpicking, from gun owners. If it's a Gun Show, no carry.

Every Gun Show I attend there is a cop at the door. Always asks me if I "have a gun"? I always say "not on me".

I'm of the opinion that if a Marriot property owner want's no guns on his property than gun owners should respect that property owners policy. Choosing to do business with that property or not is your right. A boycott is out of line.
