Bunkerville, Nevada - Gateway to Mesquite, NV

So the right wing gun nut militia is on the road and on its way to Bunkerville, NV to stand in support of some rancher who thinks he can graze his cattle on BLM land without paying the usual grazing fees. They're bringing their guns and their courage and will stand against the power of the fedrul gummint, no doubt.

So, for those militia folks who are on their way, here's a helpful guide to amenities in Bunkerville, NV:

Places to Stay:
Casablanca Resort and Casino, just off I-15 in the heart of beautiful Bunkerville. A little pricey, but a guy can eat, sleep, drink and gamble here. Ask "Slim" at the front desk if you have any special requirements. He'll fix you up real good.
Desert Skies RV Resort - Also on I-15, this is a great alternative for those bringing their portable homes and long, long trailers to the battle. Full hook-ups and Fox-Only Cable are available at extra cost.

Dining:
Fine dining is scarce in Bunkerville and Mesquite, but there's plenty of opportunities to load up on greasy fast food, all along Mesquite Blvd. We recommend Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits or Los Lupes Mexican Restaurant for the iron-stomach crowd.

Guns & Ammo:
Guns & Guitars in Mesquite is a great headquarters for both firearms, ammo, and C&W music. Find it on W. Pioneer Blvd.

Medical Needs:
In case of injury or other medical emergencies, you'll find Mesa View Regional Hospital's Emergency Room conveniently located just steps from Guns & Guitars. Get fixed up, grab more ammo, and get back into the fray!

Jesus:
For the spiritual needs of all those militia folks, there's a good variety of churches in Mesquite, offering spiritual sustenance and an open offering plate. If you're from Utah, you'll find two Latter Day Saints places of worship. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo, folks.

As a Last Resort:
If all this doesn't work out, it's a short drive on I-15 to Las Vegas, where everything is possible and nothing is forbidden. Take a break from the action in Bunkerville and get some real action in Vegas!

That none of these clowns are harmed by this misadventure.
I can only hope that no innocent bystander is harmed by this fools mission.
I can only hope that anyone "just doing their job" is not harmed in this insanity.

And one more thing......
I do hope that they will reap the full benefits of anything called Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits.
Sh**! That type of thing can mess up a "business trip".

Sometimes you're sense of humor is the only way you can look at things.

In misguided belief in the right to bare arms they forget the more important...
Right to assemble.
The right of free speech.
The right to raise you're voice.
I need no weapon to state my case.

If they are so foolish as to bring weapons to "a city conceal meeting" then what ever happens to them is deserved.
I just hope no honest person is harmed in the fracas.

One can, however, make a quick phone call, exchange some funds, and someone will arrive shortly at your hotel room to engage in sexual activity.

be in a strange place. They might be nervous and insecure. I just thought I'd give them a traveler's guide.
