Re: Travel/Hotel Large Amount of Firearms?

JonnySW wrote:Just had a general question. I travel all over Texas for work, and typically stay in hotels when im away. I sometimes bring with me multiple firearms (several pistols, AR15's, knives and ammo ect..) to make review videos on or to visit local ranges while im off work. I havnt had any issues yet, but the last trip my hotel had both 30.06 & 07 signs posted that i wasnt aware of at booking. Being those i thought are mainly to address carrying on ones person, and all mine were in bags or cases, i paid little attn to it. I normally bring my guns with me in my vehicle when i leave, as to not leave them in the room, or leave them locked in a case with a sign on the door saying no room cleaning. Also on my way back from the panhandle a few weeks ago, i passed thru a drug checkpoint (first time ever) but was waived thru due to someone was being arrested at the time and they had minimal staffing.

Has anyone ever had encounters with LEO's while carrying a lot of weapons or any issues with hotels? I dont want to have the police called on me and then find out im in some way breaking the law.

Thanks.
I'm not criticizing or anything, just letting you know. Carrying a handgun, loaded or not, on person or in a bag, past a 30.06 is a class C misdemeanor. That is of course assuming you have a LTC. The carry of rifles, absent any other signage, is not addressed and totally legal. I have never been stopped by LEO with lots of guns on me, but I wouldn't expect them to give you any trouble if you have a reason, weren't doing anything else really illegal, and you're polite and cooperative.
