Suggestions for Securing Handgun During the Day

[dralarms]

sorry, did not realize a barrel constitutes carrying a pistol.

Mike, it dosen't. However the OP is working at TVA, if it even looks out of place it will give cause to search the car.

"Yes, sir, Mr. TVA anti terroist agent, I know I'm not supposed to have a weapon here in the nuclear plant, this is just the barrel." Today 06:50 PM

Take a chill pill dude. Did you ever think Mike didn't read ALL the info before he offered a suggestion?

Good grief, sometimes I wonder about some of the people around here.

I am curious. are there metal detectors everyone goes through? Or do they frisk everyone?

Don't know about that, but I have a cousin working there and I know they (he works security) carry big ole m-16 type guns. I wouldn't take any chances since it's (even though it's "private" owned) considered a federal facility.

Let me be a little more friendly with the fellowship, if the OP shows up at a federal facility carrying the barrel of a handgun then the SWHTF. I guess the OP can call ahead and ask TVA about the security of his workplace, but I wouldn't really suggest that.

To the OP, if you really think you need to be armed in your motel room, get on the internet, order a gun safe, have it delivered overnight, secure it to something immovable in your motel room, or if there isn't anything, secure that way in your auto. Don't get printed, or don't get seen displaying your handgun in or about your auto in a parking garage. Pulling it out and trying to use your homemade lock rig in your car is probably more dangerous to you than not having the handgun in your locked motel room.

However, didn't we just have a thread about how leaving a gun in your car can create unwanted risk?

Ok, I'll try to get along better with my new friends here.

However, suggesting that the OP may be better off to leave his handgun at home before he embarks on a multi day business trip to a federal facility and knowing nothing about the motel, parking, etc., and not preparing in advance for the risk, doesn't seem to be a violation of the code.

But, I'll try to tone down my posting style. Some groups have more sensitive members than others, this being one of them, but the issues presented are interesting and need differing viewpoints.
