shaun4860 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 My appologies for the question not being of a serious nature ! I shall return to reading rather than interacting with the Forum, as a newcomer to the sport i obviously haven't learnt the differance between a serious and stupid question. Just take everything with a pinch of salt..... Join in as you see fit.....we have allsorts on here and if everyone took everything seriously then it would be a very quiet forum..... I personally just use a gun slip as my neighbours know I shoot, I don't live in a "posh" street and touch wood for the last 14 years have had no bother, I agree with the last in first out method though, I may load the car up with the rest o the gear but the gun goes in when I do, and when I'm home it goes in the cabinet unless it's wet/damp then it gets cleaned first, but in that scenario it generally gets cleaned at the club, I had carried it into Premier Inns/Travelodges/Pubs/Hotels without any bother at all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose man Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 im careful to a common sense level , most of the folks that pass my house know that i shoot anyway. i did feel a little embarrassed a while back , i was just dragging a fallow deer from the truck to the back yard on a tarp , as my vegan friend / neighbour appeared , she said "what you got there mel ?" , shes a really lovely person and i felt a very deep shame as she froze on the spot and looked deep into the cold dead eye of that deer. Take the head of before you go home Mel , saves that awkward eye to eye contact ...👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Ye Gods! Just put it in a slip and carry it! If you lived in such a dodgy area I'm sure you either wouldn't have been granted or licensing would have stipulated conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinchesterDave Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Guitar bag, neighbours think your off to band practice. Until they say; "oh, I didn't know you where in a band! I play guitar also, which do you have?" "Ermmmm it's a gun..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 . Travelodge banned guns from their premises a few months ago. I read that on here, but I took mine into a Travelodge a few weeks after I read it. I think they ban them if you tell them what you have in the gun shaped bag.

HDAV Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Does say that you cannot stay there just that you shouldn't leav them in your room, unattended, or expect the hotel to secure them... I do wonder who advised them about a "locked case" you can padlock a holdall but it's rather pointless...... Som eeeejit must have either asked them to look after a firearm or told them they were keeping one in their room, the worrying part was the note above was left in a members room? PS don't forget to commando roll from the car with the gun all the way to reception and then to your room never stopping lest you be accosted by the local scroates......

Rupert Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 . Travelodge banned guns from their premises a few months ago. Apparently a friend was in a group stood in reception at such a value chain type hostelry at the essex last year when the on duty manager decreed guns would not be permitted. The quests were on masse in reception with slips on shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelfire1 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Leave your gun in the locked car, out of sight (boot), enter Hotel and book in. Return to car, collect gun and luggage and simply walk straight to your room. It's worked fine for me over the last 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Many many moons ago, I live in a mid terrace house that had a shared drive and archway between the houses... 1am or thereabouts I'm trying to be quiet and carrying a roe buck on my back that I had acquired with the dog , when I hear a whispered voice ..." you'll get 18 months for that son"... To say I nearly **** myself was an understatement... My next door neighbour was having a sneaky cigarette away from his Mrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
