However, what about your room. The room you RENT, that is clearly under your care, custody and control, for the period of time you have rented...it seems like it would be hard to infringe upon your right to self-defense and possession within those constraints.

Of course, there's the question of exactly how to get the gun from the parking lot to your room...and then the fact that 30.06 ONLY applies to CHL holders. In the context of a non-CHL holder, you're just moving the gun from one location where you have the absolute right to possession (your car, in this example) to your rented room...

Sounds like a subject to explore a little deeper...

I know that some are unhappy about it, but this is where my Utah CWP comes in handy. Texas LEO has no way of knowing that I have a permit...and it gets left in my car. Problem solved, I then become just like the rest of the sheeple.

Is this ideal? No, but it works...I can then transport my weapon into the hotel room. Honestly, anonymity is the WHOLE reason why I got the Utah permit. Gonna have to change my plans in 4 years when it expires.
