So, an interesting thing happened tonight.

In addition I want my tactical items shipped just like my porn, in a brown paper wrapper with no indication of my particular fantasies.

Guess I should be glad that my copy of "The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories" was properly labeled.

It takes a village to stop a terrorist?

I'm with everyone that says it's NONE OF THEIR F***ING BUSINESS. What next? Are you going to let them in your home for the same reason? I would tell them to get an F***ING warrant, then let them take a pic of my ass.

LOL, hope this book doesn't exist.

LOL, hope this book doesn't exist.

It does exist, and I chose to mention it just because it has a disturbingly hilarious title...I don't actually own a copy.

So OP was the JBT cute? Did you get her number?

 

[IndyGunSafety]

You consented to all of it. You can't complain if you consent to it. "I'm fine officer. Thanks for checking. Have a nice day."

 

[PGRChaplain]

Bates Motel?

 

[PGRChaplain]

"I'm paid up for a week" I would have left right after I explained to the officer I was O.K. It's no ones business what you have delivered to your Temp residence. We're waiting for the name of the establishment and wondering why you put up with the unlawful questioning?

 

[bwframe]

Bates Motel?

 

[Hoosier Cowboy]

No reason for taking pics of you or your gun.

It was the Suburban Extended Stay Hotel in D'Iberville, MS.

Not gun related but here's an interesting hotel story:

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, I was on a a business trip to Pontiac MI. The evening previous to the incident, I left a wake call request with the front desk. As often happens though when I travel, I didn't sleep good that night and woke up early. I decided to go ahead and get a shower and get ready for work.

While I was in the shower, i heard the phone ring. Thinking they'll figure it out, I disregarded it and continued on with my business. About 2-3 minutes later I heard a knocking at my door. Again, thinking they'd figure it out or it was somebody at the wrong room or whatever, I continued on.

But then the knocking got louder and a bit more intense. So now I'm thinking the hotel must be on fire or something, I got out of the shower and made myself decent and checked the dooe. When I saw the relief on the two hotel staff members, it dawned on me...it was Pontiac, MI and Dr Kervorkian was still in business.

I never did go back and check to see if that particular hotel was one of his sites but I could understand the hotel's apprehension.

Some Hotels have a policy that if you don't receive your wakeup call you don't have to pay for the room. They might have been more concerned about the room fee

I've had packages arrive previously with poor labeling that didn't have my name on the outside, so they were opened to check the invoice. Also, today's packages included items from 'Tactical Deals' and 44Mag.com. Either way, I'm on great terms with everyone on staff I've actually met. In all honesty, the officer seemed about as confused as I did during the interaction.

After reading this for the second time I going to have to call BS
I find it hard to believe the front desk would open the package and assume the liability for the contents. If they can't read the name then it would have been returned to sender.

Yeah, we don't open packages.. not even sure that is legal. It wouldn't be for a USPS package, for sure.
Why any hotel would be looking at their guests parcels that closely is beyond me..

Unless we know the guest, we rarely call them if they get a package and have already checked out. Why?
"Hi, this is Jim from Bates Motel, is Bob Smith there?"
"What?? When did my husband Bob stay at a HOTEL???"

We get ammo, parts, etc for guests on a surprisingly regular basis.

 

[Hotdoger]

Maid reported the firearm to management?

 

[tetter]

I've never heard of that happening. I guess the officer had to check you out but it sounds like he was a little ambitious.

 

[KG1]

If everything is fine and dandy then why post about it? Just go back for some more.

a local officer who's there to do a 'welfare check'.

a "welfare check" is asking if you're ok or in need of help, NOT invading your privacy or asking for ID and certainly not taking pictures of you and your personal belongings. A total invasion IMO
