Firearms at hotels

[tziggs]

I've read about many of you taking a firearm (primarily handgun) with you while staying in a hotel/motel.

What is your method of securing the firearm when you aren't in the room? Do you leave it in the super secure in-room hotel safe? Do you take it with you and leave it in the truck of your vehicle (something I'm always paranoid about)?

What do you do?

[Bobula]

I'm curious as well.

Are those hotel room safes not particularly secure? Because whenever we're in Vegas, we always use the room safes and have never had a problem or even heard of one. I'm sure there's a skeleton key/master code but is there something you know that most of us don't?

[locosway]

If the in room safes weren't secure the hotels would have a big problem. On a side note, the hotel may have a safe. Hand them a secure bag and tell them you want a deposit receipt.

The hotel safes are secure. Some are coded and a computer spits out the code for attachment to your room card length of stay. The only time you have problems is when you leave the safes open ( which happens more often than you think.
I personally take the gun with me.

[Dangerous1]

All the room safes let us program our own codes. But like I said, I'm sure there's a master code.

The firearm generally goes with me. Handguns on my person, long guns in a case. If it's a state my CHL isn't recognized, I lock them in the trunk. Should I have to leave the gun behind, it goes in the room safe or I drop it off at the front desk, tell them I want a receipt. Never had a problem.

Its just like your code for the door card....it takes nothing to change the code...from the desk, I work on security door locks all the time where I work, and there a joke to say the least!

They are very safe in the right hands tho....just saying

Yeah i don't trust hotels. I dont leave ANYTHING that is even remotely worth anything.

I carry it with me all the time. Also, I leave "do not disturb" sign on the door for the duration of my stay. When I need something, I call the front desk to bring them to me when I am there.

That's what we do.

Until halfway through our stay in Vegas, the sign mysteriously disappeared...

[Greg-Dawg]

I keep it in my locked SKB gun case.

I always bring a handgun with me to any CA hotels I go to. When sleeping, its on the side table next to the bed. If I go out, it goes into the in-room safe.

I was at a hotel yesterday that did not have an in-room safe, so when i went out, the gun went into the car with me.

[forgiven]

The gun is with me.
