Sounds like a dope dealer to me.

That's kinda what I thought at the time...Like I said earlier, I ran several potential scenarios for why this guy was there and the strange reply and I really couldn't come up with a plausible one that I really cared to entertain. But, I kept coming back to the "drug deal" one.

OK...I'll bite...

Florida who?

I have been trying to come up with something, pretty much regretting that post.

Here goes...

Florida.

Florida who?

Florida gas and let's go!

WaaWaaaWaaaaah

Actually, that's pretty good. I'll try it out on my kids.

Just for clarification...

The hotel is not 30.06, but I am required to visit a place on foot that is, so leaving the pistol in a valet parked car without a safe (or even with...I tend to be paranoid too) is not high on my list of options. Valet parking for the hotel is the ONLY option at the hotel.

Since the original post I have done a little scouting and have found a public parking lot a few blocks away for a few dollars a day...looks like I'll take my chances for the 3 or 4 hours being disarmed and park there. May look weird to others, but hey, it's really none of their business...right?

How secure are hotel safe deposit boxes? Anyone ever use one to store his carry weapon when traveling to places off limits to CHLs?

Normally, my car becomes my "safe storage" in situations like this, but suppose the hotel parking is valet only. Valet parking means I would have to secure the weapon safely in the car prior to handing over the car...still, I'm not comfortable with this option because I don't have a car safe (now I know I need one...). I suppose I could find a self parking option nearby, but that might tend to look suspicious to those I'm traveling with. So, I thought of the safe deposit box option...

Thoughts...???
