Saw a quick story on the 9 National News.
Man was arrested in a hotel in Houston that hosts a big New Year's Eve Party.
His crime - he brought his rifle, shotgun, and handgun into his room.
His explanation - he didn't want to leave them in his truck and take the chance of them being stolen.
No other incidents - no shootings, no gun waving, no threatening, no arguments, no nothing.
Made the National News.
What??
Who hasn't been guilty of the same thing when traveling with firearms?

What was he arrested for?

This is my question. I understand the on-edge cautiousness after Vegas, but with no crime committed other than simply "possession while occupying a tall building" I fail to see the merits in arrest.

Dude was drunk and disorderly. Hotel called the cops on him for acting like a drunk idiot acts. The guns are the story because they're scary.

This ^^^

He was drunk and disorderly and kept harassing other patrons. The police were escorting him to his room to get his stuff and that's when they saw a bunch of guns.

I checked into the downtown Seattle Hilton lobby 12-20 with my blatantly locked Pelican 1560 case in tow.

If anyone asks, it's camera gear.

I used to think 9 did a little bit better than the rest of 'em....but I no longer think that. Their new graphics suck giant monkey nuts too.

Yup ! This !

As Paul Harvey said: "The rest of the story"

I did not hear the arrest part and I did not Google Search it, so I reacted....What??

Good plan. I don't have a pelican case, so my rifle case looks like a rifle case.

Same here. Good to know. Like I always say, there's more to the story than what the media gives us... even if they have a ton of details, a lot is always left out.

Yea, I only travel with pistolas.

FWIW, does it piss off anyone else that most airlines/terminals just dump the locked firearms cases on the carousel? I mean, any damn hooligan that knows why they have padlocks on them could potentially haul it off.

That said, most of the airports with the exception of DIA on occasion take forever to get the bags out so I've never not been waiting.

I think the only time I had to pick up from the UA baggage counter and show ID and luggage tag was in Milwaukee.

I find DIA to be quite the pain when traveling out of here. I have had a much easier time leaving through Kansas City, Baltimore, and Reagan.
