Item #1: Marriott Hotel... Jerks

The Marriott Hotel in Charlotte, NC was perfectly happy to take the money from hundreds of NRA conventioneers who convened in that city last week. But, they made sure to let their patriotic, law-abiding guests know how much contempt they felt for them.
Hundreds of conventioneers stayed at the Charlotte Marriott City Center, where Grass Roots North Carolina also held its "Gala for Gun Rights" on Friday night, hosting a number of national gun rights defenders. GRNC selected the hotel because it did not post against firearms. Inspections of the main entrance were made both the day prior and the day of the event. So imagine the surprise of GRNC supporters who found that signs barring guns printed by computer had been scotch-taped into place on Friday evening during the event.
While that might not seem serious, understand that N.C.G.S. 14-415.11(c) bans firearms where the "person in control" of the premises "conspicuously posts" against firearms. The crime is punishable by a Class 2 misdemeanor, including revocation of concealed handgun permits.
Read the whole thing, including the sniveling excuses made by the hotel's General Manager Weasel.
Hat Tip: Knowledge is Power.
