“shall not be infringed” is the only part I pay any attention to.
It appears Las Vegas Trump towers is gun friendly.
What about Chicago, Hawaii, Miami, Washington DC, New York & Los Angeles?

“No, we don’t allow any firearms in the hotel,” a manager at Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago told ThinkProgress over the phone.
Guns are also banned at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. An employee at the course told ThinkProgress that “we don’t allow firearms on the property.” Asked whether that ban applies even to those with a concealed-carry permit, he said that “with a permit we still don’t allow firearms.”
Manhattan’s Trump Tower does not ban concealed carry firearms for city residents with NYC permits. [NB: New York City does not recognize any other state’s concealed carry permit, nor New York State permits.]
Some policies may have changed from the date (8/2015) of this article.
A politician’s position on the Second Amendment is a good touchstone for any of his other positions.
Now thats America.
using the Trump/Chicago example is probably not the best example … seeing how the guns laws are so draconian in Chicago
as a matter of fact, it may matter little what Trump’s stance is more than what local ordinances & zoning laws are in play … jus’ sayin’
I’d never thought of it before but I think when I book our next vacation I’ll ask if there are any NRA groups in town and in which hotel they’re staying. Can’t think of a more relaxing, worry-free place to be.
And good for Trump for walking the walk.
I always carry in NYC….you would be crazy not too.
FYI, As some one who frequently travels with guns. Lotsa guns. Marriotts is pretty gun friendly.
BadBrad — Thanks. Also, since the reply buttons are kind of goofed up for me, wanted to say thanks for the link yesterday concerning Cruz. Pretty interesting stuff. And, if true, pretty much what concerns me most. Honesty about campaign finance and in general about $ transparency. Hard to trust a pol, any pol.
AA. Here’s the secret to the reply button. Scroll up from where you want to place your comment and the first red Reply Box you come to is the one you want. I think the lines on the left of the column are confusing people. Ignore those.

About fucking time someone decided to tell the Rest of America that” unalienable” meant something different than an ET phrase. Who the FUCK joined the A with the LIEN?! They should’ve been shot on sight. Cocksucker. Goddammit Washington, pay fucking attention!
Chizzle ma frizzle!
Hey Brad; when you carry lots of guns do you also carry ammo for them?
No, just for my carry weapon. We are a tactical weapons manufacture. So we travel with sample guns. I carry every where I go though. Cocked, locked, ready to rock. Was in San Bernadino 5 days before the shit hit the fan. Usually take a couple AR15’s and a couple 308 platform guns.
