MYFOX PHOENIX REPORT
President Obama's visit to the valley this past week gained a lot of attention. Video posted on the internet even showed a protester outside of where the President was speaking in downtown Phoenix, walking through the crowd with an assault rifle strapped to his back. Now, a well known travel writer may boycott the valley because of that protester.
Arthur Frommer, writer of many popular travel books, blogged recently that he's considering telling his readers to avoid traveling to Arizona because of the state's gun laws.
Frommer says he's canceling any plans to vacation or otherwise visit Arizona until he learns more about the state's gun laws.
As FOX 10's Andrew Hasbun reports, Arizona's Office of Tourism is disappointed by Frommer's comments.
